Kyle spent 12 years at Rackspace before taking the help as CEO at Inspired eLearning, and is focused on helping the company become a leader in the highly competitive and growing market of cybersecurity training. Why cybersecurity training? Internet security is perhaps the biggest threat businesses of all sizes face today.

Mison Riggins from Inspired eLearning joins me for Converge Tech Talk today and we’re taking a look at the 2019 Cybersecurity trends and what we see as important now and in the coming months. We start off by addressing the Collection #1 Data Breach. With some 770+ million email records and 21 million passwords reported to be shared online, there’s every reason that it’s being called “the mother of all data breaches.” If you’d like to learn more about the Collection #1 breach, I’ve covered it here—Collection #1 Data Breach, What You Need to Know. Then we moved on to 2019 cybersecurity trends and what’s on the horizon. This includes: AI and Machine Learning AI and machine learning are current industry buzzwords, but Mison and I talk about how these things, or either of them, like weaponized AI, impact cybersecurity.

Phishing is one of the most common cybersecurity attacks and in this episode of Converge TechTalk, Mison Riggins, tech security expert from Inspired eLearning downloads everything we need to know about phishing, and how to keep your employees, and your company, safe from phishing attacks.   Phishing attacks are designed to trick people into giving up private information and/or to trick people into clicking on a malware or ransomware link that can spell big trouble for companies and their data. This kind of cyberattack is one of the most common tactics cyber criminals use and can happen in a number of different ways: Phishing, SMiShing, and Vishing.   These names relate to the different channels that cyber criminals use to reach prospective targets. Phishing relies on email as a channel, Smishing relies on SMS messaging, and Vishing relies on voice as a channel to reach victims.   Mison and I cover a myriad of details related to phishing, and how companies can help employees learn what they need to know about

The transfer of information from generation to generation is vital to the success of any business. It’s never been more important than it is now, when we are seeing Baby Boomers begin to retire and Gen Xers and Millennials in key leadership roles, assuming the responsibility of continued business growth and success. Developing a ͞tribal culture͟ and devoting a concerted effort to knowledge transfer is what will allow companies to not only achieve digital transformation success, but it’s also the key to business sustainability. This episode of #DigitalTransformation Talk covers the topic of knowledge transfer and how developing a ͞tribal culture͟ will help your business in a myriad of ways.

Collaboration technology is a booming business, and with good reason—it benefits just about every part of an organization. But when it comes to human resource teams, collaboration technology and the efficiencies and productivity that can be a result of the adoption of a collaboration platform can be off the charts. Why? Collaboration is about people, connection, productivity, and culture. And HR? Well, it’s about those very same things. In this episode of #DigitalTransformation Talk, we cover the benefits of collaboration tech for HR teams and we think you’ll want to hang around for it.

Imagine working in a team setting which requires constant contact and conversation with your co-workers. Easy enough, right? Now imagine your co-workers don’t work in a cubical close to yours—in fact, they work across the country or even across the world. The latter is becoming more commonplace, and this inaugural episode of #DigitalTransformation Talk, hosted by Broadsuite Media Group’s Shelly Kramer, discusses new and existing collaboration technologies that will streamline communications across different platforms of business.
