Identity Theft
09/13/23 • 34 min
Some cyber crimes are more relatable than others. Did you know that about 33% of people have been affected by identity theft crimes? Or that the majority of the exposures go unreported to law enforcement? On this episode of Cyber Savvy Mike and Andrew will be joined by a special guest that was recently affected by a compromise of their personal identifying information. Our guest will share their experience and some advisable steps they took to protect their personal data from this and future attacks.
Andrew Rose began a cybersecurity awareness program in 2016 while at a major agricultural bank after recognizing that the ag sector wasn’t getting the attention it needed about the risks posed by cybercriminals and other adversaries. He helped coordinate several symposiums and events focusing on the topic. He is now an independent contractor and volunteers his time to bringing cybersecurity awareness, education, mitigation, and response to the ag and food supply chain (and other special projects). His focus is on mitigating emerging threats. In addition to his experience in cybersecurity, he has a deep understanding of banking/finance, risk management, and other professional service sectors related to food, agriculture, and climate.
Michael Urbanik is an Account Executive with R.K Tongue Co., Inc. and is licensed in both Life & Health and Property & Casualty Insurance. He has experience working with both large and middle market commercial clients. He enjoys helping his clients understand the risks they face and develop cost effective plans to successfully mitigate and transfer these risks.
