In his return to the Efani Features Podcast, Corey White, CEO and co-founder of Cyvatar, joins host Mark Kreitzman (GM at Efani) to sound the alarm for small and medium-sized businesses navigating a terrifying new cyber reality.

Ransomware attacks are up 149%, yet most businesses are cutting cybersecurity spend. That’s a recipe for disaster — and Corey breaks down exactly why.

With 30+ years in the industry and a track record that includes McAfee, Intel, Silence, and now Cyvatar, Corey offers a behind-the-scenes look at why so many companies get breached, and how to build a “locked down” digital perimeter that hackers simply pass over.

🔒 In this episode:

• What SMBs get wrong about cybersecurity (and how hackers exploit it)
• The fatal gap between IT support and actual cyber protection
• Why endpoint protection alone is useless if not configured correctly
• Post-breach nightmares: data theft, triple-extortion ransomware, and 2-week outages
• How Cyvatar built a post-incident-informed, plug-and-play security solution
• The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) risk most companies ignore — until it’s too late
• How Cyvatar partners with MasterCard, provides $0 risk scans, and replaces outdated antivirus with true defense-in-depth

This episode is a wake-up call for business owners, operators, and tech teams who think “nothing’s happened yet” is a strategy.

If your company doesn't have multi-factor auth, vulnerability management, secured cloud endpoints, and 24/7 monitoring — this conversation could save your business.
