Small businesses face cyber security challenges that extend far beyond installing antivirus software. Many business owners believe cyber security is solely an IT problem, but data breaches, social engineering attacks, and compliance requirements create serious legal and financial risks that can destroy a business overnight.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why cyber security must be treated as a business priority, not just an IT concern
📌 Understanding data governance and protecting your business information supply chain
🔗 The rising threat of data poisoning, deep fakes, and social engineering targeting executives
🛡️ Practical steps for validating the information your business relies on for decisions
✅ How to implement incident response planning before a crisis hits your business
📌 Why compliance requirements are creating new legal risks for small businesses across all industries
Steven Wright brings over 30 years of technical expertise, 50+ patents, and recognition in the NC State ECE Hall of Fame. As a practising cyber security attorney in the United States, he helps businesses understand that cyber security encompasses technology, legal compliance, and business continuity planning.

Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
Do you use your AI Chat as a glorified search engine? Many of us do because it's an effective way to collate data and analyse it. What happens when you ask for information, your AI "interprets" the request differently and presents you with a confident answer?
That's what Charly discusses in todays episode.
✅ A confident answer can still be answering the wrong question
➡️ The shortlist may have been narrowed before you ever see it
⚡ Checking what the AI searched for can be as important as checking its answer
When you ask AI to search the web, how certain are you that it’s searching for what you asked? The answer may look convincing, yet the search behind it can take your request somewhere you never intended.
There's an interesting lesson here for Business Owners.

Business systems are complex and when something goes wrong, trying to work out what it is and how to fix can be an exercise in futility. It becomes even more frustrating when there are multiple providers involved and each say their system is working correctly.
Todays episode discusses that and asks four questions:
✅ Why is it so difficult to identify where the problem sits?
➡️ What do you need to do?
⚡ How can you get out of the cycle?
⭐ What can the business do while the underlying problem is being resolved?
Have you got a technology problem that still exists because nobody can tell you where it sits?

It appears the company wasn’t hacked, and the emails passed the checks designed to confirm where they came from. Today's episode discusses:
✅ Why Revolut handed the information over
➡️ The legal and regulatory environment that set the incident up
⚡ What it means for the security and privacy of information businesses are required to collect
⭐ What small businesses need to take from it
There are lessons here for businesses, particularly those now covered by expanded Australian anti-money laundering requirements.
