EP 551 Cybersecurity Reality Check - with Daniel Metcalf

Cybercriminals don’t need to “hack” our systems when they can trick someone into handing over access, and AI is making those tricks more realistic and scalable. We talk with Daniel Metcalfe of Cyberfin about where benefits advisors are most exposed and the layered, practical steps that reduce breach risk while still letting teams use AI responsibly. 

• why employee and employer data is “gold” to attackers 
• how advisors get used as a pathway to bigger targets 
• why MFA and antivirus alone don’t stop social engineering 
• where agencies are most vulnerable today: email credentials and tool connections
