Identity theft isn’t a what-if; it’s a when. In this episode, cybersecurity expert Craig Taylor reveals why credit monitoring won’t protect you, the real secret to securing your identity, and how business owners can safeguard both personal and business credit.

Key Notes
- Credit monitoring only alerts you after fraud happens; a credit freeze prevents it.
- Your personal data is already exposed—proactive protection is necessary.
- Small business owners are high-risk targets for fraud and phishing.
- Password managers and multi-factor authentication are essential.
- Identity theft insurance can help recover if fraud occurs.
- Cyber insurance and E&O coverage are must-haves for entrepreneurs.
