Digital Beachhead CEO Mike Crandall Leads the Way in Cybersecurity, Empowering Small and Medium-Sized Businesses to Safeguard their Digital Fortresses 

One of Digital Beachhead’s most notable offerings is the Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service. Mike explains, “Yeah, this is our biggest offer. And many small to medium-sized businesses have fractional CFOs as their financial officers. We’re doing that same thing, but we’re doing it for your security.”

“We can come in and kind of help you evaluate and guide you to the best cybersecurity solution. As a fractional cost instead of hiring someone full time,” Mike continues. This approach enables businesses to leverage the expertise of seasoned cybersecurity professionals without the financial burden of a full-time hire.

 So what’s behind the magic of Digital Beachhead? It’s the diverse team Mike has curated, a blend of experienced veterans and enthusiastic young talents ready to tackle challenges.

How SMBs Can Outsmart Cyber Threats

In a world increasingly dependent on digital technology, cybersecurity emerges as a pivotal battlefield for businesses of all sizes. A startling statistic from the recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report illuminates a concerning trend: 46% of all cyber breaches impact businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. This figure not only underscores the vulnerability of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) but also prompts a crucial discussion on the necessity of robust cybersecurity measures tailored to the unique needs of these entities.

We explored this pressing issue with Mike Crandall, founder and CEO of Digital Beachhead, a distinguished cybersecurity firm known for its pioneering virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services. Crandall, a veteran with a rich background in military and private-sector cybersecurity, sheds light on why SMBs find themselves in cybercriminals’ crosshairs and what can be done to fortify their defenses

Penetration Testing "Beyond the Bits"

The cybersecurity landscape is often filled with a plethora of tools which companies can avail themselves of to protect against malicious activities.  Organizations are facing an ever-increasing challenge in protecting their systems, data, and infrastructure against online cyber threats.   

In the “Art of War” author Sun Tzu states that “To know your enemy, you must become your enemy”.   Within the cybersecurity battlefield this is most often achieved via penetration testing.

 I am a strong believer in penetration testing beyond the bits and into the physical, human, and administrative functions of an organization.   Moving to how the company operates and what weaknesses can be found outside of online connections.
