REDD

Ever wondered how cybercriminals squeeze companies not once, but three times? You’re about to see how triple extortion works. In this #reddshort, you’ll hear from host Marco Nicosia alongside REDD’s CEO, Bryan Rogers, as they expose the mechanics of triple extortion. Learn how modern attackers look beyond the initial tech hack to exploit your sensitive data and regulatory rules for maximum profit. First, they lock your systems and demand a ransom to restore access. Then, even after paying, they threaten to sell your sensitive data unless you pay again. Finally, they exploit compliance laws and warn that they’ll report you to regulators unless you hand over more money. This isn’t just about tech—it’s about how attackers manipulate fear, data, and rules to maximise profit. Understanding these tactics helps you stay one step ahead, protect your systems, and respond smartly if you ever face a cyber threat.   #CyberSecurity #RansomwareAlert #DataProtection

Ever assume that outsourcing a Security Operations Centre (SOC) means you can “set and forget” your cybersecurity? Think again. In this #reddshort, you’ll hear from host Marco Nicosia alongside REDD’s CEO, Bryan Rogers, on why a managed SOC isn't enough if it doesn't understand your business context. While a managed SOC can monitor alerts and respond to incidents, it can’t understand the unique context of your business. What’s normal for one organisation might be a risk for yours. That’s why you still need someone in your team who can interpret alerts, identify patterns, and make informed decisions that align with your operations. Ignoring this can leave vulnerabilities unnoticed or even disrupt business processes. By combining the expertise of a managed SOC with internal business knowledge, you can stay ahead of threats, act on insights, and ensure your systems remain secure. Outsourcing doesn’t replace responsibility. It amplifies it when done right.   #CyberSecurity #SOC #ManagedSOC #BusinessSecurity #ITLeadership #RiskManagement

You don’t always think about IT until something goes wrong. In this latest #reddshort, REDD's CEO, Bryan Rogers, and COO, Chris Herbert, highlight the risk many businesses face. When everything is running smoothly, IT fades into the background. But when an incident hits, it quickly becomes critical, impacting productivity, revenue, and confidence. The shift comes when you start treating IT and cybersecurity as part of your everyday operations, not just a reactive fix. By building simple mechanisms, tracking the right metrics, and making IT part of your regular conversations, you move from firefighting to foresight. You don’t need complexity to get started. You need consistency. Because staying ahead isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It’s about ensuring your business never falls behind.

When something in your IT environment fails, you don’t just deal with a technical issue, you deal with lost control, confusion, and disruption to your business. In this latest #reddshort, REDD's CEO, Bryan Rogers and COO, Chris Herbert, urge you to reconsider your views on failure. They highlight the need to reevaluate accountability within your organisation, as chaos can easily ensue when several individuals attempt to address the same issue. You’ll also explore the importance of predictive analysis. If you wait for a failure to occur before responding, you are already behind the curve. Real change happens when you start to identify early warning signs and take proactive measures before issues escalate. Consider this simple yet powerful question: Are you addressing problems as they come up, or are you developing the insight and foresight to prevent them from occurring in the first place?

You’re often making decisions about IT without full visibility into what’s really happening on the ground. In the latest #reddshort, REDD’s CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert highlight how easy it is for risk to build quietly when you rely on surface-level signals like “nothing’s broken” or a lack of complaints. You’re encouraged to think beyond tickets and technical reports. Without the right feedback loops, metrics, and reporting lens, you miss the early warning signs that matter most. By providing the correct information at the appropriate level, you shift from reacting to problems to taking proactive control. This leads to better clarity, enhanced decision-making, and allows you to truly manage IT risks before they become bigger issues.

You trust that your IT is working, but how often do you hear what your team is experiencing day to day? In the latest #reddshort, REDD’s CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert encourage you to view IT through the lens of people, not just as a technical issue. They urge you to go beyond tickets and reports and start asking the right questions in your everyday conversations, as that’s where true insights can emerge. You will notice that small, proactive habits such as incorporating IT into your feedback loops can help avoid significant disruptions. This is because once failures are apparent, it is already too late. The message is simple. If you’re not actively surfacing issues, you’re operating without full visibility, and that’s where risk begins. Start asking. Start listening. And make IT part of how you lead your people, not just how you manage your systems. You can listen to the full episode here https://lnkd.in/gy7YYdad   #Leadership #ITStrategy #BusinessGrowth

You might think your IT is operating effectively, but are you missing the key factors that really matter? In this latest #reddshort, REDD’s CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert challenge you to look beyond stability and ask the tougher questions. Where are the hidden gaps? What inefficiencies are quietly impacting your bottom line? And are you relying too much on the idea that “nothing’s broken”? Remember that IT, like a car, can operate well for a long period... until it unexpectedly fails. The key difference is that in IT, risks are frequently hidden and always changing. This is your cue to move from reactive thinking to a more deliberate, strategic perspective. When you begin to actively observe, question, and manage your IT, you’re not only preventing issues but also enhancing overall performance in your business.

If nothing’s broken in your IT environment, are you sure it’s actually working for you? In this episode, you’ll hear REDD’s CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert, together with host Marco Nicosia, challenge a common assumption: just because nothing’s broken doesn’t mean everything’s working. You’re encouraged to look beyond surface-level performance and question whether your IT environment is truly supporting your growth or quietly holding you back. You’ll reflect on the hidden gaps, the unseen risks, and the cost of downtime that rarely makes it onto a report. Bryan and Chris unpack why visibility, clear metrics, and strong governance matter more than ever. You’re reminded that resilience isn’t accidental, it’s designed. If you’re leading a business, managing risk, or responsible for technology outcomes, this conversation prompts you to think differently. Not reactively, but proactively. Not when something fails, but before it does. Watch the full episode now: https://lnkd.in/gy7YYdad #ITLeadership #BusinessResilience #DigitalTransformation #TechnologyStrategy #RiskManagement

Have you considered what hackers could be doing inside your systems right now? Malicious actors don’t always strike immediately, as they can quietly sit in your network for months, gathering credentials and studying your risk mitigation strategies. While you think your backups and security measures have you covered, these attackers may already be planning how to bypass them, leaving you with no options but to comply with ransom demands. Understanding this threat is critical, and having the right monitoring tools in place is essential to detect suspicious activity before it’s too late. By proactively assessing your vulnerabilities and ensuring your SOC is tuned to catch unusual behaviour, you can stay one step ahead and protect your business from costly disruptions.   #CyberSecurity #RansomwareProtection #BusinessRiskManagement
