Cybersecurity for SMBs: AI-Accelerated Threats & Practical Compliance
Greg Pfleider & Oliver Clingain
Tech Ascent - Episode 86
In this episode of Tech Ascent, host Oliver Clingain sits down with Greg Pfleider, CEO of Accelerate2Compliance. Greg shares how small and mid-sized businesses can realistically navigate cybersecurity, compliance, and data protection—without expensive, enterprise-level complexity.
Drawing on his background in financial services and compliance, Greg explains why cybersecurity is a journey, not a plug-and-play solution, how AI is accelerating both threats and defenses, and why SMBs are now prime targets for breaches, civil suits, and regulatory fines. The conversation explores the FTC Safeguards Rule, real-world breach scenarios, and how businesses can build a culture of security that protects customer data and long-term trust.
