What happens when your laptop gets stolen and you forgot to lock it? In this episode of UnHacked, our hosts dive deep into endpoint security - the real perimeter of your business in today's digital world.
Justin, Bryan, and Mario explore real-world examples of how endpoints (computers, phones, VPNs, smart devices) are compromised and share practical CEO-level guidance on protecting these critical access points. From VPN vulnerabilities to improperly configured guest networks, learn why 97% of breaches could be prevented with basic security measures.
Key topics include: the four essential endpoint protection checks every CEO should perform, why "it's in the cloud" doesn't mean you're protected, the importance of detection systems alongside prevention, and how to hold your IT team accountable.
Whether you're paying for managed IT services or handling security in-house, this episode provides actionable steps to verify your endpoints are truly protected. Don't wait until your business is the next cautionary tale.

Hi, I’m Bryan, and I’m the President of B4 Networks. I started working with technology since early childhood, and routinely took apart computers as early as age 13. I received my education in Computer Engineering Technology from Niagara College. Starting B4 Networks was always a dream for me, and this dream became true in 2004. I originally started B4 Networks to service the residential market but found that my true passion was in the commercial and industrial sectors where I could truly utilize my experience as a Network Administrator for a large Toronto based Marine Shipping company. My passion today is to ensure that each and every client receives top of the line services. My first love is for my wonderful family. I also enjoy the outdoors, camping, and helping others. I’m an active Canadian Forces Officer working with the 613 Fonthill Army Cadets as a member of their training staff.
