No matter your level of exposure, business continuity plans should be put in place – especially now, as hurricane season enters full swing. However, managed service providers (MSPs) are often faced with a similar problem: convincing their customers to be proactive in disaster-proofing their digital infrastructure, prior to any emergency.

Holmdel tech entrepreneur inspired by running his Rutgers fraternity

When did you decide you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

When I was back in college at Rutgers University, I was studying for a degree in mechanical engineering. While I found that discipline interesting and I did well in class, I knew I wanted to do something more than just be an engineer. I became treasurer of my fraternity when I was 19 years old and suddenly I had a budget of $75,000 per semester and 80 of my peers to manage. After a year and a half, I became president and held that position for my senior year. The time spent running the fraternity was an amazing experience, much like running a business. I think that is when I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur.

Frank M. DeBenedetto Hits Amazon Best-Seller List With Easy Prey!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Frank M. DeBenedetto Hits Amazon Best-Seller List With Easy Prey!

Cyber-security expert, author, and entrepreneur Frank M. DeBenedetto recently hit two Amazon.com best-seller lists with the new book, Easy Prey!

Shrewsbury, New Jersey – September 30, 2016 – Frank M. DeBenedetto has joined a select group of Cyber-security experts from around the world, to co-write the book titled, Easy Prey: How to Protect Your Business from Data Breach, Cybercrime, & Employee Fraud. The book was published by TechnologyPress and released on August 18, 2016.

On the day of release, Easy Prey reached best-seller status in three Amazon.com categories – reaching as high as #1 in the category “Computers & Technology,” #3 in the “Computer Viruses” category, and #5 in the “Security & Encryption” category. Frank contributed a chapter titled “How Cloud Computing is the Answer to Most Cyber-Security Concerns.”

TechnologyPress describes the book:

The term Easy Prey aptly describes those businesses exposed to the illegal, immoral and illicit industry known as Cybercrime. Unsuspecting and often unwary businesses and their personnel are often taken in as “easy prey” by cyber-gangsters. Cybercrime, which replaced cyber-vandalism, is growing quickly and more sophisticated daily. To counter the threats of cybercrime, the Celebrity Experts® in this book lead the way to secure their clients’ systems and data from vicious cyber-attacks. With added government regulations for compliance and privacy, these experts are called upon to train and protect their clients from the online bandits that frequent the Internet, as well as to meet regulatory compliance standards. The need to secure business cyber-systems and to train personnel in cyber-security has become critical. Businesses of every size can no longer assume their computer operations are safe. Professionals – like the Celebrity Experts® in this book – are called in to ensure they don’t become Easy Prey for the cybercriminals, thereby protecting them from the unimaginable social and financial consequences they can bring.

After such a successful release, DeBenedetto will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.

Before finally shifting his educational focus towards technology, he earned two designations from the American College of Financial Services – Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC).

Soon after, his entrepreneurial spirit took over and he left the industry to fully concentrate his efforts on building a technology-consulting firm.
