What if your biggest business vulnerability isn't what you're building - but how you're protecting it? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Alex Heublein joins Julia to talk about the urgent intersection of AI and cybersecurity, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. From real-world hacks to proactive protection strategies, this isn't fear-mongering - it's a playbook. With decades of experience at tech giants like HP, Oracle, and Red Hat, Alex pulls back the curtain on how cybercrime is scaling like a business - and how AI is being used on both sides of the battlefield. If you're using AI without a strategy, relying on luck to stay safe, or assuming you're "too small" to be a target, this is the episode you didn't know you needed. What You'll Learn: Why cyber criminals are now targeting small businesses—and how AI is helping them do it faster. The simple safeguards every entrepreneur should put in place before using AI tools like ChatGPT. How to create AI policies (or "guidelines") that actually make sense and protect your business. What to ask before investing in AI-powered automation, and how to avoid the biggest risks. Why cyber insurance isn't optional anymore—and how much you really need to budget for cybersecurity. How to approach AI adoption as a strategic advantage, not a tech trend.
