SECURITY, SHMECURITY. NO BUSY CEO WANTS TO
SCOUR 100+ CYBERSECURITY SOURCES. YOU JUST WANT TO...
Eliminate Those DREADFULLY UNNERVING FEELINGS ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS RISKS & TURN IT INTO FACT DRIVEN SECURITY DECISIONS
THE PROBLEM
Running a business is already hard….
…no need to be dropping
Benjamins for recovery, too.
We know logically that that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to dollars and cents,
people and processes, offers and sales.
But when it comes to our business, we’re more emotional than
logical when cybersecurity comes up.
If you run in ANY business circle, you’ll see that 90% of the discussions are just full of emotions.
“I don’t understand why people have to be so dishonest and crooked?”
“I don’t know what to do to protect my business and I feel tired just thinking about it.”
“I feel so afraid of running ads because of the scammers.”
“I can’t log into my socials and I’m over it.”
““I feel so panicky even thinking about losing my client’s data to hackers.”
“Business disaster recovery? I’m stressed trying to figure out what marketing isn’t working and how to fix that.”
“Just thinking about cybersecurity makes me nauseous.”
Alrighty then, prepare for the ultimate eye-roll,
but truth is the stress-busting security secret is actually... pretty darn straightforward
All your negative emotions and feelings about your business security
stem from two things: Beliefs & Expectations.
Lecture-y jargony opinion incoming…
Let’s be honest. Cybersecurity is tech on steroids. But oh boy, so many people have thoughts about it. Many of these beliefs and expectations are mostly bonkers, unrealistic, wrong, and made up out of whole cloth. Why yes, I do yell at my social feed when I see those “thoughts”.
What if I told you we could change our expectations and beliefs about what’s going on in the security threat landscape — a fancy phrase for Internet + Bad Guys — and how to increase our business security
awareness — more fancy words for I’m vulnerable, aren’t I — so you can think about preventing and responding to risks in a whole new way? Those negative feelings would disappear…and in its place…
Knowledge, resources, and guidance...
That leads to strategic security decisions protecting your money.
Over the years, I’ve created cybersecurity intelligence briefings for over 200 Fortune 500 CEOs & C-Suite Execs. Briefings that helped them understand information alerts, what threats were out there, and the recommendations and resources to make stronger security driven decisions.
You see, I worked for the leading cybersecurity company, Symantec, formerly Norton Antivirus.
I worked on the Security & Response team as the Info Dev — fancy title for Information Developer aka the team’s word nerd — before being cross-trained in QA and malware engineering.
When the big-time CEOs asked for live briefings, I got “voluntold” to prepare the briefs, but the guy who they picked to give them — our star Sr. researcher and reigning hacker smacker — had social anxiety. Together, we cut a deal with our own big-wigs where I’d do the presenting, he’d answer the questions I couldn’t answer and he’d mentor and train me.
And that’s how my life of breaking down complex, eyes glaze over, jargony super tech into bite-sized, crystal clear, explain it like I’m 9 strategies to non-techie decision makers started.
BENEFITS
The benefits of our working together are far reaching for CEO minded entrepreneurs.
Less overwhelm when working with security options
Understanding more about what’s going on with technology glitches and outages
Easy ways to find what solutions to choose to protect business and assets
Clear definitions, best practices, and objectives so they can manage expectations and drive decisions to decrease security risks and recovery
Bite-size and jargon free recommendations... zero formal training or tech coding skills required
87% of small businesses have customer data that could be compromised in an attack,
and 27% of small businesses with no cybersecurity protections at all collect customers’ credit card info.
Since 2003, I’ve been in the cybersecurity world where I’ve reverse-engineered — fanciest way to say I decoded backwards — malware, ran C-Suite Briefings, and helped the DOJ put away some very bad criminals. So I know that, just like big corporate CEOs, entrepreneurial CEOs and other C-Suite executives could benefit from these simple, clear, and effective briefings. Problem is…even knowing cybersecurity measures would protect their business, finding them is one more to-do. Another security stopper? They’re spread thin working in their business and there’s just not enough time. Who wants the time suck of trying to find cybersecurity answers?
That’s when I had the idea for a no-fuss subscription where I’d act like your CISO — Chief Information Security Officer — and keep you informed with a monthly briefing and weekly dossier-style updates on the latest happenings in cybersecurity… saving you time, money, and big scary stress.
It doesn’t hurt that it’ll help you turn off all those negatively dreadful feelings with knowledge you can put to work protecting your business. Oh! Imagine how impressed your client will be knowing your security protects client assets, too. Oh! Imagine how impressed your client will be knowing your security protects client assets, too.
And here we are.
Encryption activated! Phishing attempt foiled! I'm thrilled to present...

About Your Virtual CISO
ANGE "GOS"PAYTON
I’m the Cybersecurity Expert For CEO minded entrepreneurs with security certifications, training, and years of experience.
But, once upon a time, I was just a curious kid who loved whodunits and stopping the villain. Little did I know, that fascination would lead me to exploring the vast world of technology and becoming a Cybersecurity Expert with years of training and experience under my belt.
From thwarting cyberattacks to implementing robust security measures, my journey has been nothing short of thrilling. I have navigated through the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, constantly challenging myself to stay ahead of the game. But, what I love most about my expertise and experience is helping online CEOs, especially women and marginalized entrepreneurs, protect their businesses at the highest possible security level.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What are the top cybersecurity threats currently facing our company?
Each month, this briefing will highlight the most critical threats based on recent events, industry trends, and vulnerabilities specific to business systems and data. As most entrepreneurial CEOs work from a home office, some information may cover home systems and data.
Have we experienced any cybersecurity incidents this week?
Yes. Cybercriminals don't rest. But that's not to say neither should we. The briefing is monthly, but the weekly Sentinel Dossier reports on the latest security news and trends, the most critical threats and vulnerabilities based on recent events.
Do I have to be super technical to use this?
Nope! You’ll get information, resources and if needed, super easy step-by-step instructions to help you set-up simple solutions, like multi-factor authentication for social accounts.
What are the most critical security updates or patches we need to prioritize?
The CEO Security Brief will list, when available, critical security updates and patches required to address known vulnerabilities in our systems and applications each week. The best patch security practices:
a. Set update notifications for all your most used systems, software and apps.
b. Implement browser updates ASAP as soon as you see that request.
c. Update apps and software, too, especially if they are security updates or patches.
I suck at implementing stuff.
Is that a question? I kid. That’s okay! In fact if you hate implementation, this is the #1 reason you should join. Because I’ve curated the work for you so on average, you can secure your stuff in 10 minutes or less.
It seems like your subscription is solving LOTS of problems. Is this a marketing product?
No. This is all about the intersection of my security knowledge and your business protection. Most people have no idea how to interpret security information or financial & data solutions, never mind make connections between the two. Each month we’ll focus on four super specific categories, to keep overwhelm to a minimum and your security to a maximum.
You could keep stumbling in the dark making business decisions through trial and error…
Or you can take the small but mighty step into the world of increased safety, decreased risk, and protected data and get clear on what your business is up against and how to make security solutions work for you.
And for those of you already cybersecurity aware, these briefs are based on real world, real time security data and come with accurate expectations and guidance so you can add to or update your own security practices and solutions.
I can’t wait to help!
Stay Safe, Ange

“Super helpful!! I never thought about the "stealth" internet connectors like appliances being a potential security risk at home. So glad I came to the workshop to learn how to plug the holes in my home security footprint.” - M. LaRue, Sonja Blue Media
