RiskVersity specializes in helping organizations proactively manage exposure to risk and promote long-term stability through effective risk management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe RiskVersity team is thrilled to have Mitch Harris join us,\u201d said Laurence Jones III, President and Co-Founder of RiskVersity. \u201cHis expertise is unmatched in the area of Cyber Security Risk Management, and his decades of experience will help our clients reach even higher levels of preparedness when it comes to risk management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of the Cyber Risk Practice services comes at a time when companies across the world are rethinking what it means to run a virtual business. With employees working from home and accessing critical company data from external locations, the risk for security breaches and phishing attempts increases dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThousands of businesses are asking their employees to work from home,\u201d said Mitch Harris, Senior Cyber Security Consultant at RiskVersity. \u201cAnd with the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of remote workers, the attack surface for hackers has just increased exponentially. Given the suddenness of it all, many businesses didn\u2019t have the infrastructure in place to accommodate this change in their business culture. Add to that the lack of policies, procedures and controls that relate to working remotely, and they have unintentionally created a petri dish for attackers\u2019 malware, viruses, trojans, worms, RATs etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris warns that attackers tend to strike when businesses are uncertain or have the potential for weaknesses, and that now is precisely when hackers would be seeking ways to break into unsecure businesses. Lack of face-to-face interaction for authentication, less secure internet connections at employees\u2019 homes, and outdated security features on personal computers and laptops are all factors that increase a businesses\u2019 risk factor for cybersecurity attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest problem is waiting to care about cybersecurity until you\u2019ve already been breached,\u201d noted Harris. \u201cIf you have customer data, employee information, payment records, or sensitive financial data that needs to be protected, now is the right time to examine how you can reinforce your business to be a virtual fortress when it comes to cybersecurity and at-risk information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RiskVersity provides risk management services to companies across the United States and is headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, and has an operating office in Greensboro, NC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>About RiskVersity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At RiskVersity, we are able to provide services that <g class=\"gr_ gr_6 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"6\" data-gr-id=\"6\">identifies<\/g>, manage<\/em>s<em> <g class=\"gr_ gr_20 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"20\" data-gr-id=\"20\">and<\/g> <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">prepares<\/g> our clients for their risks.
