Lunch and Learn Recap: Cybersecurity

3/16/2022

We have a love of learning here at RedCloud! Late last month, our team gathered virtually for a session solely focused on learning more about one of the hottest (and most critical) topics in tech - Cybersecurity. No stranger to our team, RedCloud Alumni, Terry McCorkle, Founder and CEO of PhishCloud Inc. joined us to share his wisdom. 
Terry is a certified hacker with over twenty-one years of experience in the cybersecurity industry who has served in a broad range of technical, analytical, and leadership roles. We were thrilled to learn from him and to see how he has flourished since his time at RedCloud.

​Terry’s company, 
PhishCloud Inc. empowers people to make intelligent decisions on digital phishing threats, fortifies IT visibility so they can respond to that threat, and delivers reality-based education that reduces the risk of phishing attacks. ​

With growing concerns about cyberattacks, it’s important to sharpen our skills when it comes to recognizing a potential threat.  RedCloud Account Manager, Jenny LeBaron enjoyed the event and said, "It is not very often that we get to learn from a former RedCloud Alum about something (like cybersecurity) that relates to each and everyone of us -- It was a great experience!"

We learned so many eye-opening methods for identifying threats and thinking more like an attacker - seeing firsthand some examples of phishing. A big thanks to Terry for sharing his tips and for making our lunchtime worth its weight in gold. ​

​Wondering what other  RedCloud team members thought of the session? Their feedback was so positive! ​
It was great to see RedCloud Alumni making such an impact in their field and then coming back to share their insight on industry best practices. Thank you, Terry, for presenting a complex issue to us in such a user-centric way!"

I had no idea what a big 'business' hacking was: i.e. 50m bad emails get through daily, 75x more phishing sites than malware, 97% of people are unable to spot phishing. A couple takeaways: setup multi factor authentication whenever possible, secure your home network. Terry mentioned having two networks in his personal household - one for business, and one used by family for gaming sites, general use, etc.

​The other alarming data point was how many hackers are using search and social media sites for phishing. Action: check and change your passwords regularly, set up multi-factor authentication on email, be hyper aware before you click on a site!”
