They address both the why and how we should be securing our client data.  Of course we try to use technology to work efficiently but we also should consider a multilayered approach to security.  In fact, Hossein shares with us the 3-step approach:

  • protection,

  • response

He then points out which and where should you be spending your money.  This alone is a good reason to not miss this discussion.
