Your business collects and stores various data: personal information about you and your employees, or information about your customers, partners, clients, and suppliers. All of this business data makes you a good target for a data breach.

Whether it came internally or from an attack, a data breach is a serious issue and can have a devastating impact on your business. You need to learn how to guard against cybercrime.
