Prevention vs. cure

Happy Valentine's Day to all. I hope you keep your hearts protected on this Monday and share your love with partners who don't give you a story for Technical.ly fave My Favorite Breakup.

 

On the note of protection, for all my biz leaders out there: Do you have a cybersecurity plan in place? What would you do if your company was hit with a ransomware attack or another cybersecurity threat? Would it be business as usual? Could your business repel or recover from a cyberattack?

 

Check out my story below on why prevention is worth much more than the cure.
