Defending Against GenAI-assisted and the World’s Most Alarming Cyberthreats with Acronis’ Cybersecurity Evangelist, Steve Brining (CISSP)

This episode covers the latest, most alarming cyberthreats and how Managed Service Providers, business leaders, SMBs, and consumers can defend against them. Joining GoTo's Kim Zupancic is Steve Brining (CISSP), Cybersecurity Evangelist at Acronis, CW3 and a Commanding Officer in the Arizona Army National Guard. Together, Kim and Steve delve into Acronis' Cyberthreats Report, which is based on over 1M unique endpoints worldwide. Steve covers the most common attack vectors, the red flags to look for especially with the rise of AI-driven attacks, how MSPs can position themselves as trusted cybersecurity advisors, and practical tips on staying vigilant. No surprise, the best offense is a strong defense — from everyday tactics, like multi-factor authentication, to the more advanced like GenAI-assisted defenses, deep fake recognition drills, and incident response plans. Knowing businesses aren't the only targets out there, this episode concludes with pro-tips for consumers too.
