History of Cybercrime

Cyber Savvy

Cybercrime-where did it all begin? It is difficult to frame the full breadth of cybercrime today without understanding the history first. Mike Urbanik has spent considerable time researching the subject and highlights for us where the roots of today’s cyber criminals, their motivations, and their techniques come from. Join us as Andrew Rose and Mike touch on some significant instances and have a conversation about those that best represent various sectors.
Andrew Rose began a cybersecurity awareness program in 2016 while at a major agricultural bank after recognizing that the ag sector wasn’t getting the attention it needed about the risks posed by cybercriminals and other adversaries. He helped coordinate several symposiums and events focusing on the topic. He is now an independent contractor and volunteers his time to bringing cybersecurity awareness, education, mitigation, and response to the ag and food supply chain (and other special projects). His focus is on mitigating emerging threats. In addition to his experience in cybersecurity, he has a deep understanding of banking/finance, risk management, and other professional service sectors related to food, agriculture, and climate.
Michael Urbanik is an Account Executive with R.K Tongue Co., Inc. and is licensed in both Life & Health and Property & Casualty Insurance. He has experience working with both large and middle market commercial clients. He enjoys helping his clients understand the risks they face and develop cost effective plans to successfully mitigate and transfer these risks.
