  • Michael Young is the Owner and Senior IT Consultant of Computer CPR, a firm that provides over 140 small businesses of various industries with expert computer repair and IT support, emphasizing cybersecurity. Michael started Computer CPR in 2007 when he noticed the need for a proper IT support company that would go beyond basic troubleshooting. Michael obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at Pensacola Christian College. Michael joins me today to discuss the troubling rise in cybercrime and system breaches in the last few years. He describes when the jump in cyber attacks started and why hackers often target small businesses. He explains how to make an effective password and recommends tools that can keep track of hundreds of passwords. He shares the immediate steps organizations need to take after confirming a cyber attack.
