Your vendors could be your biggest cybersecurity weakness. In this eye-opening episode, cybersecurity advisor Jolie Grace Wareham shares a real case where a small business lost a significant five-figure sum when their vendor's email compromise led to fraudulent payment instructions.

Learn how threat actors lived undetected in a vendor's email system for months, then sent convincing fake wiring instructions that looked completely legitimate. Discover the red flags that could have prevented this costly attack and why 60% of small businesses that experience cyber incidents are out of business within six months.

Key topics: vendor risk management, business email compromise (BEC), payment verification protocols, incident response planning, and why cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility—not just IT's.

Essential listening for any business owner who works with vendors, contractors, or third-party service providers.
