## Resource

In this episode of the GSBC Awards Series, Matt Taylor-Farrington chats with Martin von Stein, founder of BizGuard, the 2025 recipient of the Media & IT Award at the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Business Awards. Martin shares his journey from a passion for technology to building one of Springfield’s most trusted names in cybersecurity. With a clear mission to protect small and medium-sized businesses from growing digital threats, BizGuard is as much about people as it is about tech. We talk about the most common mistakes businesses make when it comes to IT and security, what keeps BizGuard ahead of the curve, and how the team strikes a balance between complex technology and simple, human communication. Martin also reflects on what it means to be publicly recognised in an industry that often operates behind the scenes.
