Who could forget the “check yes or no” note passing of our grade school days? I am sure my kids would laugh hearing about how we used to communicate with our friends and secret admirers. No cell phones in my day!  It definitely was a simpler time in a lot of ways.

Businesses get the secret admirer messaging too but they are, unfortunately, not the type of note you want to receive: “Dear Business, we have decrypted all of your customer data and blocked access to your computers. You owe us 2 million dollars, or you will remain locked out and will share your data online, including your customer’s sensitive information. Looking forward to hearing back from you! Love, Your Cybercriminal.”

According to Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, in 2020 these notes tortured over 2,400 U.S. organizations. The average ransom in 2021 was $1.2 million dollars and rising. While it is exceedingly difficult to prevent attackers, experts agree on five steps every business should be taking no matter their size.  Keep in mind, the attackers tend to target small businesses who they assume may not have the same robust security measures in place as a mega-corporation.

  1. Back up data in offline, off-site systems. This will improve the ability to restore data without paying a ransom.
  2. Establish multifactor authentication (MFA) protocols. This can prevent a bad actor from accessing your networks or account. Do not allow anyone in your business to be exempt from the protocols you have initiated. P.S. If you haven’t put MFA on your Facebook account, stop reading and do it right now! Instructions here:  https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823
  3. Conduct security training and testing. Human error is still the most common way for cybercriminals to gain entry. Enforce robust password protocols, disallow non-sanctioned electronic devices and test employees frequently to ensure they do not click on suspicious email links or attachments.
  4. Implement thoughtful access control. The more access granted, the more leverage an attacker has when compromising an employee’s credentials. Only allow access to information that is relevant to their job.
  5. Test your incident response plan. Anticipate and prepare for operational, legal and communication issues that arise during an attack, including sending immediate notification to your insurance agent and cyber insurer. Your cyber insurance company can quickly deploy experienced incident response resources to take the crucial steps necessary to protect your business. And, because decryption and data restoration can take weeks, cyber policies also can cover business interruption, reputational damage, extra expenses and data restoration services.

I hope you only got the good “love letters” this Valentine’s Day.   If not, never hesitate to call us and enact that cyber policy!

President, White & Associates Insurance

2022 is upon us and we cannot wait to start another year of wellness! Our employee wellness program offers $10.00 of rewards for every 1,000 points earned. The max value for 2022 is $905.00! In addition to our regular monthly and annual point options, we are challenging our team to participate in the both physical and mental health challenges below in 2022. We  hope you will consider joining us!

 

You would think that newer things are more expensive to insure, but that actually isn’t always the case when it comes to your home insurance. Check out the home updates below that can lower your premium! It turns out, all our HGTV watching may just come in handy.

  1. A New Roof
    For most insurance companies, a new roof can mean a good bit of savings. A new roof typically can withstand weather better than an older one, and, therefore, can save you (and the insurance company) some money. If you have had a new roof put on, and we do not already know about it because of a claim, be sure to let your agent know!
  2. A Security System
    Make sure your insurance company knows if you just installed a security system. There are lots of different options on the market that you can self-install, making security systems more accessible than ever. Before you purchase, check with your agent, because your insurance company may have a list of devices that qualify for a discount.
  3. A “Smart Home” Addition
    More and more “smart” devices are becoming available and affordable. A thermostat that automatically alters the temperature in your home is great for keeping our house at the perfect 70 degrees at all times and it can ensure your pipes do not freeze while on vacation. A newer device on the market – FLO by Moen – can independently detect a leak in your home and turn off the water to your home when a leak is detected. If you travel often, or have a second home, this becomes even more valuable considering undetected leaks can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

But be aware – not every upgrade will save you money! Companies typically upcharge for expensive items like solar panels. Installing a pool, while it will most certainly increase your summer fun, also increases your liability risk. A business operating from your home could cause some coverage issues if your insurance provider is not aware of the exposure. The key thing is to update your agent as you make upgrades and changes.

If you have any questions, we are here to help!

Kristal Carpenter, Partner
Jackson, Tennessee
731-664-2700

Ingredients
2 cans canned coconut milk (full fat)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme (chopped)
Freshly ground black pepper
5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 yellow onion halved and sliced thin
3 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
3 cups grated Gruyere cheese

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a 9 x13 inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan bring Coconut Milk, garlic, rosemary, thyme and pepper to taste to a boil. Turn off heat and set aside. Note: Gruyere is pretty salty so I don’t use any additional salt when making this dish.
Wash potatoes well, slice thinly and cover with cold water to get rid of some of the starch. Set aside.
Melt butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture turns a golden brown color.
Slowly whisk in the herbed coconut milk, a bit at a time. Stirring, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Drain potatoes and layer 1/3 and 1/3 of the onions on bottom of baking dish, overlapping each slice about half way. Pour 1/3 coconut sauce over potatoes and sprinkle with 1 cup of Gruyere cheese. Repeat layers 2 more times, only reserving last cup of cheese for later.
Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Bake uncovered 15-20 additional minutes. If potatoes are soft and a darker color is desired, broil potatoes until cheese is browned.
