Video Transcript
I am Michael McPherson, special agent in charge of FBI Tampa.
And I’m Jason Mayor, director of technology risk and assurance for Raymond James Financial.
McPherson: Cyber attacks against our private sector companies, critical infrastructure, and government agencies are increasing each day. The threat is persistent.
Mayor: A cyber breach can cause lasting harm to your business and its stakeholders. It can have a profound effect on your customers, employees, and reputation.
McPherson: Time is our enemy in cyber attacks. The faster a company reports an issue to the FBI, the higher the likelihood we’ll be able to protect what is important to you.
Mayor: Raymond James and its executives have maintained a relationship with the FBI for years, and in today’s connected world, that relationship could not be more important to us.
McPherson: And we view it as critical to our mission, Jason. We can’t win the cyber fight without our private sector partners.
Mayor: If you haven’t already, develop a formal incident response plan, and include the FBI in that plan. If you have a plan in place, exercise it regularly and include your local FBI Cyber team in your rehearsals.
McPherson: Whether you experience a breach, or your team identifies something out of the ordinary, ensure you report the compromise. Your local FBI field office is there for you, day or night.
Mayor: Remember, Cyber risk is Business risk.
McPherson: And Cybersecurity is National Security.
