About this episode
AI is changing how businesses operate, but when it comes to cybersecurity, most family businesses aren’t ready. In this episode, Meghan Lynch talks with Mike Giovannini, founder of Network Strategic Services, about what leaders need to know before rolling out AI tools across their team. With more than 30 years in IT and compliance, Mike explains why the first step in any secure AI strategy isn’t technical—it’s educational. You’ll hear how to reduce digital risk, build employee awareness, and protect your company’s most valuable data with clarity and confidence.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Why free AI tools aren’t safe for sensitive business use and what to do instead
- How to roll out AI tools securely in a family business setting
- The #1 risk-reducer most companies overlook: employee education
- Why culture is your first line of defense and your biggest blind spot
