Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

As organizations become more digitally dependent, the traditional divide between cybersecurity and human resources is quietly dissolving. Cyber risk is no longer confined to firewalls and infrastructure, it lives in behavior, communication, hiring, and culture. The companies that recognize this shift are the ones building true resilience. Below are four expert perspectives that reveal how cybersecurity and HR are increasingly intertwined.

In March 2026, one of West Michigan's most recognizable manufacturers found itself at the center of a major cybersecurity incident. Medical technology company Stryker, headquartered near Grand Rapids, experienced a widespread cyberattack that reportedly disrupted systems across its global network.

Cybersecurity has become a major concern for organizations of every size. However, small and mid-sized businesses often face a unique challenge: they must protect their systems and data without the large internal security teams that many enterprises rely on. At the same time, cybercriminals increasingly target smaller organizations because they may have fewer resources dedicated to cybersecurity.

A phone that will not unlock can stall an entire case before the paperwork is even filed. A cloud account login from a new device can flip the narrative in minutes, because the trail people once chased through witnesses now runs through alerts, access records, and exported chats. That shift is easy to miss until you are the one trying to explain what happened, and you realize the first questions are no longer just "where were you" but "which device," "whose credentials," and "what did the logs record."
