Cybercrime isn’t just a distant threat- it’s here, it’s growing, and it’s targeting everything from global infrastructure to small-town churches. In this episode, former military intelligence officer and cybersecurity expert Rob Hegedus joins the conversation to reveal how cyberattacks have become an industrialized, global business projected to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025.

Rob explains why ransomware has become a top money-maker for hackers, why small and mid-sized businesses are now prime targets, and how most people underestimate just how quickly threats reach their devices- sometimes within seconds. He also introduces Cyber Simple, a new solution designed to give everyday families and business owners the same kind of protection once reserved for government agencies. If you’ve ever assumed cyber threats are only a “big company problem,” this conversation will open your eyes to the real risks and the simple steps you can take to stay ahead.
