Episode Title
What Is Cybersecurity and How Do You Handle Threats? 

Description
In this episode of the Independent Dental Practice Podcast, Dr. Sonny Spera sits down with Kelton Earl of Black Talon Security to unpack what cybersecurity means for today’s dental practices and why it can no longer be treated as an afterthought. 

Highlights
Kelton breaks down how cyber threats have evolved from basic perimeter security to identity-based attacks targeting email, passwords, and human behavior. The discussion covers common vulnerabilities inside dental offices, the growing risk of ransomware and triple extortion.

Personal Passions
Kelton shares his passion for helping people make informed decisions through technology, as well as his interest in leadership, team culture, and transformational management. 

Podcast Vision
This episode reflects the podcast’s mission to help independent dentists navigate not only clinical and business challenges, but also emerging threats that impact practice ownership and autonomy.
 
Takeaways
Dentists should separate personal and business systems, strengthen email and password security, verify rather than blindly trust technology protections, and treat cybersecurity as an ongoing business priority rather than a one-time fix.
