Introduction to Cyber Savvy
May 30 2023
Introduction to Cyber Savvy
A successful cyber-attack has taken your organization/agency off-line. The FBI and CISA have been contacted. As you know, if this hasn’t already impacted you (either directly or indirectly), it will. When your networks are compromised, what happens next? Who do you call?Be cyber savvy. Beginning June 13, 2023 our podcast series starts with the history of cybercrime, discusses how to mitigate against being a victim or what to do as you are being attacked, and finally the aftermath. The dust pans and brooms part of the equation. Join Michael Urbanik, a cyber risk management specialist from RK Tongue, and Andrew Rose as they (and their guests) explore elements of elite IT support and risk management tools to manage more of the variables in a complex cyber security world. During this introductory episode our hosts will have a conversation with E. Andrew Gerner, CFP®, President – RK Tongue Co., Inc. and Steve McNamara, Founder & CEO - DTC, Inc. about what it means to be Cyber Savvy in daily business practices. E. Andrew Gerner, CFP® is President and an equity member of the insurance firm R. K. Tongue Co., Inc. He is also Principal and Founder of the R. K. Tongue-affiliated investment and financial services firm Tongue | GERNER Financial Services, LLC.

He specializes in risk management, asset protection, wealth management, retirement plans, and financial planning for members of the healthcare and professional services industries. He lectures regionally to healthcare, legal, and financial professionals on various risk management, financial, and insurance-related topics. Steve McNamara founded DTC, Inc. in 1998 with an objective to always “do the next right thing” for clients and team members alike and holds fast to a mission of making IT work through innovative solutions and meaningful connections.​ Years ago, it became apparent that although located in one of the most technologically advanced areas in the country, the options for IT support were not up to par. DTC, originally Dental Technology Center, began to focus on providing IT support to the dental community. What started out as a few clients quickly spread to hundreds of practices, eventually solidifying DTC as the largest dental IT support company in the Mid-Atlantic. Expanding outside of the dental sector, DTC now serves clients in all industries and is always looking for a new challenge. We are very excited to announce that our first full length episode of Cyber Savvy will soon be available!!
