ConvergeOne

The above quote has never been truer than it is in today’s security and privacy environments. There have been too many breaches to mention, but one common theme is that they affect all shareholders to varying degrees. Unfortunately, I’ve been the recipient of a few emails from establishments informing me that a breach occurred.
