Of the many daily issues on your plate, we know cybersecurity is not top of the list.

However, we routinely hear reports of local companies and organizations being held "ransom" for significant amounts of money AND experiencing significant disruption to their business and its processes; these cyber-attacks have impacted both big and small companies locally and will likely only become more frequent in the future.

Cybersecurity needs to be on your radar and a priority as you seek to protect your business.
