Keeping Systems and Software Up-to-Date: The Easiest Win

Hackers aren’t always looking for the hardest target—they’re looking for the easiest way in. For small businesses, outdated software is often that entry point. Sean Mack, founder of CXO Advisor, explains why regular updates and patching are critical for defense. By building an update routine and seeking external support when needed, businesses can close one of the most common—and preventable—gaps in their security posture. Sometimes, the easiest win is also the most powerful.

The Power of a Clear Cybersecurity Strategy

Cybersecurity tools are everywhere, but without a clear strategy, small businesses risk wasting time and money. Sean Mack, founder of CXO Advisor, shares why aligning security efforts with business goals is essential. From identifying risks to setting priorities and accountability, a strategy keeps organizations focused and resilient. For companies without in-house expertise, external guidance can provide the clarity needed to cut through the noise and strengthen defenses.

Building a Culture of Security Through Training and Openness

Technology alone can’t protect your business—your people play a crucial role in defending against cyber threats. Sean Mack, founder of CXO Advisor, emphasizes the importance of ongoing training and a culture where employees feel safe reporting issues. From phishing simulations to everyday password hygiene, consistent reinforcement builds confidence and trust. For small businesses, fostering this kind of security-first culture ensures employees aren’t just the weakest link—they’re the strongest defense.
