Your Data Just Got Held Hostage. Now What?
In this episode, Butch Zemar chats with tech attorney Lisa Gavin, who’s navigated everything from fintech to ransomware settlements (yes, that’s a thing). Lisa lays out what happens when a hacker locks down your data and demands crypto—hint: there’s no Liam Neeson, just consultants billing by the hour and your cyber insurer asking if you’ve “read the policy.”
She introduces tabletop drills—live-action crisis simulations where your leadership team roleplays disaster. No PowerPoints. No IT guy to save the day. Just real talk like: “What do we do if payroll gets hacked at 3 a.m.?” Spoiler: most companies have no clue. These drills help expose weak spots before a real breach does—and no, forwarding sketchy emails to your MSP doesn’t count as a plan.
If your Wi-Fi password is taped to the breakroom fridge and your incident response plan is “hope,” this episode is your wake-up call.
