Cyber attacks can cost a business far more than lost data. They can disrupt operations, damage client relationships and consume enormous amounts of time — and for accountants and financial advisers handling sensitive information, the stakes are particularly high.

Recorded at Class Ignite 2026, Sean Aylmer speaks with Lydia Pearson, Head of Growth Solutions at MyProsperity; Nathan Steiner, Senior Director of Solution Consulting at DocuSign; and Greg Hansen, Executive Group Strategy at HUB24. They discuss why email remains such a significant vulnerability, how client portals can improve both security and customer experience, and where a small business should start when its cybersecurity budget is limited.
