Applied Connective’s Ed Knott (company president) and Jarod Dendinger (business relations) were invited onto the Chamber Connection Podcast hosted by Katie Walmsley of the Ord Area Chamber of Commerce in June to discuss cyber security and best practices business should be following to protect themselves from falling prey to “bad actors” in today’s threat-saturated environment.

The two veteran IT experts touched on a variety of social engineering & cyber attacks and tactics, offered practical advice, and ended by sharing some free resources for listeners in the fast-paced 23.5-minute program.
