VICTORIA, BC, October 13, 2023 — Charter Telecom, a leading IT reseller and services provider, announced today the release of the latest edition in its monthly Charter Engage: Know IT podcast series, called “Cybersecurity Awareness Featuring Jason Maynard,” which discusses what’s happening in the field, through real-world case-study examples, the top security issues and challenges, and ways that businesses can protect their environment by capitalizing on IT, OT, and IoT technology.

 

Top consulting firms worldwide warn that either your organization has already been hacked or is likely to be. Cybersecurity statistics reveal that there are 2,200 cyber attacks daily, with an average cyber attack happening every 39 seconds. In the US, data breaches cost an average of $9.5 million, and cybercrime is predicted to cost $8 trillion by 2023 (ung.edu.)

 

Get to know our special guest, Jason Maynard, Cisco’s Field CTO- Cisco Security, as well as Ronnie Scott, our Chief Technology Officer, and Mark George, Charter’s Director – Energy, Resources & Industrial Markets as they have a roundtable discussion touching on Bill C26 legislation, the cybersecurity framework (based on six strategic pillars), and strategies to implement basic controls for breach prevention.

 

“Understanding the adversary and how they operate in your environment is strategic… and that's where we need to start shifting organizations to - moving from commodity-based controls.”  - Jason Maynard, Cisco, Field CTO- Cisco Security
