The High Cost of Ignoring Cybersecurity for Orlando and Central Florida Businesses

Written by Aurora InfoTech | Aug 28, 2025 4:00:00 AM

At a recent exclusive event hosted by ThreatLocker, we had the privilege of attending as a Gold Partner. One message from CEO Danny Jenkins stood out loud and clear:

“Not enough business owners are shutting the door on hackers, and the cost of waiting is devastating.”

That struck a chord because here at Aurora InfoTech, we see it every day in Orlando and across Central Florida. Small and mid-sized businesses face the same threats as Fortune 500 companies but without the same level of defense.

Cybersecurity Isn’t Optional Anymore

Danny highlighted how most breaches don’t begin with complex, Hollywood-style hacks. Instead, they often start with the simplest tactics:

  • A phishing email that slips through inboxes.
  • A rogue USB device that grants silent access.
  • An employee unknowingly reusing a weak password.

By the time most businesses detect the intrusion, attackers have already spent months inside systems—stealing data, spying on operations, and preparing to lock everything down with ransomware.

The lesson was clear: cybercriminals don’t need to break down the front door—they just wait for you to leave it open.

Why Business Owners Should Care

During the event, one theme kept coming up: the human cost of ignoring Cybersecurity.

  • Years—sometimes decades—of client trust, operational data, and intellectual property can vanish overnight.
  • A single compromised system at work can give hackers a path to your home Wi-Fi, personal devices, and even your family’s data.
  • With tools like “rubber ducky” USBs, criminals can take over systems, activate cameras, and spy without ever being noticed.

For Orlando businesses, the takeaway couldn’t be clearer: ignoring Cybersecurity is gambling with your livelihood, your reputation, and even your family’s safety.

The Good News: You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

Danny’s keynote wasn’t just a warning—it was a call to action. And as an Orlando-based Gold Partner of ThreatLocker, Aurora InfoTech is ready to help local businesses take that action.
