This Friday: Phil Taylor regarding Cybersecurity best practices! 

After 25 years in the newspaper industry - spending the last seven as President of the Omaha World-Herald - Phil transitioned to IT services in 2019, serving as Vice President for a Lincoln-based IT services provider before spending 2 years as Chief Administrative Officer for a Council Bluffs nonprofit.

Now Vice President at American PCS, Phil oversees customer relations with a focus on client satisfaction, long-term partnerships, and aligning IT solutions with organizational goals. He also serves as a bridge between technical teams and key stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and alignment.

In his spare time, Phil enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.

Phil's presentation, “Cybersecurity in a Changing World,” introduces business leaders to the realities of today’s cyber risks and the simple steps that can make a big difference in protecting their organizations.  Using real examples and clear best practices, the session focuses on what matters most - keeping data safe, preventing common attacks, and building everyday security awareness.
