Tech Ascent - Episode 37

In this episode of Tech Ascent, Kevin Johnson, founder and CEO of Secure Ideas, demystifies cybersecurity by cutting through the hype—highlighting what truly matters when protecting your business. We explore common blind spots founders have about their own risk exposure, why enabling MFA and using password managers often outperform expensive tools, and the real pitfalls of traditional user training. Kevin also emphasizes how penetration testing has shifted from a luxury to a necessity, where AI is genuinely helpful—and where it falls flat—and why no organization, no matter the size, is immune to attack.
