Technology is great! It can help you communicate at a faster pace, capture moments in time with a simple click, or even make dinner show up on your doorstep without you leaving the house! But what happens when that same technology turns against you? One click on the wrong thing can mean a catastrophic data loss or total loss of business. In today's cyber climate, proactive data security is a must! Let's break down the "geek speak” of technology to provide a better understanding of how it works and the current standard of care for ensuring predictable failures instead of costly disasters.
