In this milestone podcast, Ira Goldstein joins me to discuss the evolving role of cybersecurity in midmarket M&A. As he explains, cybersecurity diligence has become a key part of deal-making, driven by the ever-increasing value of data in many business sectors. He stresses the value of hands-on technical assessments – rather than check-the-box exercises – for many organizations, as well as the importance of proactive controls and the challenges smaller firms face in allocating resources for cybersecurity. Looking ahead, Ira predicts increased use of AI-driven tools for risk assessment as cybersecurity awareness continues to grow.
