My heart goes out to all the dealers impacted by the recent CDK cyberattack. As has now said, “this incident has idled its dealership management system across the U.S. and Canada, likely for several days.”. Unfortunately, cyberattacks like this are becoming all too common, even targeting the largest and most secure companies. It’s a stark reminder that these vulnerabilities can affect anyone, no matter their size or resources. We all need to stay vigilant and proactive in our cybersecurity measures to protect our businesses and our customers. This is also another reason why many smaller dealership groups are choosing to cash in their chips and enjoy the high valuations currently available, letting others worry about these increasingly prevalent issues. #Cybersecurity #AutoIndustry #Dealerships #BusinessChallenges #HighValuations

One of the most damaging potential outcomes of a prolonged carding attack against a retail site is your payment provider threatens to cut you off rather than keep dealing with chargebacks and fraudulent transactions (or indeed, does just shut you down).

CMMC compliance is keeping many businesses, especially small businesses up at night.  Through our interactions with the SBA and the Virginia APEX accelerators, we were introduced to Project Spectrum.  Unlike many sites, they are not trying to sell you anything or influence you to do anything except improve the cyber security stance of your organization.  If you haven't been to the site, we highly recommend you carve out and hour or two do so. #Compliance #CMMCCompliance #improvecybersecurity #abta #projectspectrum #smallbusiness
