Important Cybersecurity Facts for 2021

Based in New York City, Peter J. Snetzko joined Mosaicapp in 2018. In the position, he sells SaaS-based project management solutions to members of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry in his position as head of sales. Peter Snetzko has gained insight into a variety of industry areas over the course of his career, including cybersecurity technology.

The cybersecurity market continued to grow during 2020, and is set to reach nearly $134 billion by 2022. Close to 60 percent of business leaders described issues related to cybersecurity as increasingly present threats. Indeed, more than four billion records were exposed to the public via data breaches from January to June 2019 alone. About 71 percent of these breaches, mostly hacking-based, were financially motivated, with a quarter of data breaches relating to espionage.

Common examples of cybersecurity vulnerabilities range from weak or stolen credentials to corporate espionage, though explanations can be as simple as user error. These weaknesses need to be shored up as soon as possible, with annual security breaches rising 11 percent from 2018 and 67 percent over the last seven years. In fact, a University of Maryland study determined that hackers attack protected data every 39 seconds. With these figures in mind, it is no wonder business leaders continue to invest in the latest cybersecurity technology available.

 

The Three Basic Types of Wood Chisels

A senior sales account executive in New York City, Peter J. Snetzko has led sales and business development for Mosaic for the past two years. When he isn’t busy at Mosaic, Peter Snetzko counts woodworking among his favorite hobbies.

One of the most essential and versatile of all woodworking tools, the chisel dates back to prehistoric times. Beginning woodworkers should assess their unique goals and areas of interest to ensure that they have all the chisels they require.

The vast majority of wood chisels fall into one of three categories, the most common of which is the bench chisel. Designed for versatility, the bench chisel is a staple in virtually every woodworker toolbox. From carving joints to shaving lumber, these chisels can accomplish a wide range of tasks.

Specifically optimized for the creation of mortise and tenon joints, the mortise chisel is bigger, heavier, and thicker than a bench chisel. Although many bench chisels can aid in mortise and tenon joint production, the intense hammering and prying that this technique demands will often damage a bench chisel quickly.

The paring chisel, by contrast, is more delicate than both the mortise chisel and bench chisel. Its extremely long and thin blade is perfect for the intricate carving work of finish carpentry. Woodworkers should never strike a paring chisel with a hammer or mallet - it's meant to remove material simply using the force applied by the hands. 

Cybersecurity Benefits and Challenges

A business leader in the high-tech sector, Peter J. Snetzko has served as head of sales with the project and resource management application Mosaic since 2018. One of Peter Snetzko’s chief areas of professional interest is cybersecurity technology.

Important forms of technology in the cybersecurity field for quite some time, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to drive cybersecurity growth. In fact, a recent study by the independent research group Fortune Business Insights has identified AI and IoT as key factors in a projected $112 billion to $282 billion increase in the global cybersecurity market by 2027.

When it comes to detecting irregular network activity and protecting against cybersecurity breaches, AI has proven a highly effective programming tool. However, hackers also commonly employ AI to perform functions such as solving CAPTCHAs. The resulting “arms race” between IT professionals and hackers has driven significant and ongoing investment in AI cybersecurity technology.

A term that applies to all communication networks among products and machines, IoT is also driving innovation in the cybersecurity field. Although IoT technology is extremely valuable across a wide range of business and government environments, it increases vulnerability to cyberattacks and requires new and advanced cybersecurity measures.

Global Cyber Security Market Poised for Substantial Growth

An experienced business executive, Peter J. Snetzko has served as head of sales with the New York City-based project management software startup Mosaic since 2018. Peter Snetzko counts cybersecurity technology among his areas of professional expertise.

According to a July 2020 report by the global technology research and analysis firm Technavio, the cybersecurity sector will grow significantly around the world over the next four years. Titled “Global Cyber Security Market 2020-2024,” this report calculates that total cybersecurity economic increases will top $138 billion by the end of 2024. Technavio expects growth to be most dramatic in the first quarter of 2020 and then lessen gradually over subsequent quarters.

Although there are many reasons for this growth, Technavio points to a concurrent projected boost in the use of mobile devices as the primary driver. As consumers increasingly use cell phones and tablets to make online purchases and pay bills, the need for highly secure IT infrastructure is paramount.

 

The Bob Dwyer Fishing Club’s Tom Keating Award

A New York City account executive with a career that spans more than a decade, Peter J. Snetzko has led sales and business development for Mosaic for the past two years. When he isn’t working, Peter Snetzko is an avid fisherman and a member of the Bob Dwyer Fishing Club.

Over the past 35 years, the Bob Dwyer Fishing Club (BDFC) has expanded from its New York origins to serve dozens of members in New England, the Carolinas, and the United Kingdom. BDFC remains true to its guiding objectives that revolve around the promotion of trout fishing and furthering the emphasis on “fellowship and mutual good will” upon which the club was founded.

Established in 2017, the Tom Keating Award recognizes the achievements of a BDFC member who has exemplified the club’s essential values. Recipient of this award have contributed to the club's success in terms of teaching others, promoting comradery, and generally supporting the sport of trout fishing.

The award bears the name of Thomas Keating III, a Catholic priest and civic volunteer who held longtime membership in BDFC. Past Tom Keating Award winners include BDFC leaders Rob Dwyer and Tim Flynn. 

The Most Important Tools in a Woodworking Shop

Peter J. Snetzko, the results-oriented lead of business development for Mosaic, a project management application development firm in New York City, achieves success by utilizing tried-and-true techniques such as customer relationship management, prospecting, established selling strategies, and negotiation. Peter Snetzko studied finance at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, graduating in 2008. An avid trout fisherman, he also enjoys sailing, cooking, and woodworking.

An oft-quoted rule for woodworkers is “measure twice, cut once.” Thus, of all the tools one might consider essential in a woodworking shop, a good ruler or tape measure is likely the most important. All other skills are of limited value without the ability to make and transfer accurate measurements.

The two most common measuring devices used by woodworkers are the folding wooden carpenter’s rule and the retractable tape measure. Both have measurement markings on the edge - most have imperial measurements (inches and feet) marked on one edge and metric measurements (centimeters, and meters) on the other.

The carpenter’s rule consists of several straight wooden sections joined together at their ends so that it can easily be folded up. The end section is fitted with a brass groove in which a sliding brass extension slides out. This extension permits the woodworker to measure inside dimensions, such as the inside height of a drawer, to a degree of accuracy much greater than a tape measure could deliver.

The retractable tape measure, with a tape usually made of nylon or steel, is coiled inside a case. They range from around 3 feet to as long as 25 feet or so. They have a device on the end that can be hooked over the edge of a workpiece, and are much more practical for accurately measuring large workpieces than the carpenter’s rule.

Finding the Best Fit for Project Management Software

Leveraging more than a decade of experience in the fast-paced sales and account management sector, marketing and client management specialist Peter J. Snetzko oversees long-term sales and customer service strategies as the business development lead for Mosaic. Peter Snetzko joined the New York City-based startup in 2018, which offers a seamless project management software solution. 

Before purchasing a project management software solution, decision-makers should ask themselves several questions about their department or company’s overall needs.

Task Type - Project management software is best suited for temporary or reoccurring projects that have clear end-dates and deadlines. They can also be helpful for teams encountering project delays due to missed communications, a lack of defined responsibilities, and no clear-cut way to share progress and timelines. 

Communication Needs - Some project management systems are better suited for internal communications, while others have special privacy features that make them ideal for sharing information with clients. Companies should also consider the types of devices their teams rely on and the technological proficiency of their workforce. 

Integrations - Often, before a comprehensive project management software solution is implemented, companies managed their tasks using several free programs such as Google Docs or Dropbox. To make the transition easier for these employees, managers should look for software that supports third-party integrations.
