Hackers Aren’t The Only Unseen Enemy Behind Cyber Attacks

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The booming numbers of cybersecurity threats have compelled every C-suite executive and board members to pay closer attention to their cybersecurity hygiene. However, they don't share the same lens while watching their information security posture. And here's where a disconnect arises. A recent global survey of C-suite executives indicates that around 71% of board members have severe gaps in knowledge regarding cybersecurity and threats their organizations face. Whether we talk about data breaches compromising sensitive business information or exploiting consumer identities, executives and heads of information security (InfoSec heads) are already geared for the worst. But the senior management isn't sure why they need to spend more on their cybersecurity budget. While InfoSec heads often emphasize security and risk management as a part of their job, board members often link cybersecurit...

5 Ways to Build Courage and Competence for Difficult Conversations

Image
This story originally appeared on Ellevate Some people think I'm courageous. I've lived and worked all over the world and regularly speak in front of hundreds of people, so I must be, right? Well, no. For whatever reason, I don't find that scary, and courage is the ability to do something that frightens you. What would take courage is for me to jump out of a plane. So, I don't do it. And I'm comfortable with that because, let's face it, there is very little upside in falling through the air. asiseeit | Getty Images One thing that most people find frightening is speaking up when faced with decisions or actions they disagree with. And that makes sense: Many of the stories we hear about people speaking up end with the individual facing some kind of negative outcome, including, in extreme cases, being ostracized. There are few movies or books written about employee...

Walmart Can Say No to Suppliers' High Prices — But What Can We Do?

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. I've been sharing this article from the Wall Street Journal with my clients. It's about how Walmart is warning its suppliers not to raise prices. The article says Walmart's Chief Executive Doug McMillon "delivered the warning in person last month in an appearance before companies that produce products sold by the company's Sam's Club chain. Inside a hotel auditorium, he said Walmart would be pushing back against suppliers' efforts to raise prices, according to people familiar with the situation. Innovative products will spur more purchases, he added, according to these people." My clients chuckled along with me when they read this story. "Wow," said one who echoed the sentiments of most others. "Must be great to be Walmart, don't you think?" Related: 4 Ways to Protect Your Business From Inflation It surely is.

5 Ways to Communicate More Effectively With Your Customers

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Communicating effectively with customers is essential for the success of any organization. And in today's connected world, consumers expect seamless and consistent experiences across all channels, from email and SMS text to social media and live chat.

Using an omnichannel platform allows a brand to capture...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

6 of the Best Drinking Games to Play During Super Bowl LVII

Image
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T. https://www.tausiinsider.com/6-of-...
