Rhonwyn Learner – VERTANIUM
The reality is that MOST cyber criminals are not targeting the big end of town… they’re targeting you. Many small businesses are being targeted as ‘easy pickings’ through their unsecured invoicing, single-layer security on emails and websites, and client data that isn’t really protected because it’s in the cloud. You’re really making it far too easy for them. Rhonwyn will introduce you to the real risks, common threats and the steps to start protecting yourself and your business.
