About this audiobook

A Walgreens parking lot in Midvale, Utah. After hours. A check written in the dark to buy bitcoin — the only way to ransom a stranger's business back from a criminal halfway around the world. That experience changed everything for John Huston, and it's where this book begins. Guarding the Beehive is a practical, jargon-free cybersecurity guide written by a career IT professional for the business owners he serves along the Wasatch Front. Whether you run a dental practice in Murray, a construction company in Riverton, or a tech startup in Lehi, this book meets you where you are — with real stories, clear language, and a step-by-step path to protecting what you've built. Most cyberattacks don't succeed through brilliant hacking. They succeed because a busy person clicked a link, reused a password, or assumed their business was too small to be a target. The solutions are simpler than you think.
