In the late 1990s, computer security was simple: you locked the door to the server room and hoped nobody guessed that the admin password was, well, “admin.”

Fast forward to today, and that is simply unrecognizable. Hoping for the best isn't just a poor strategy; it’s a liability. As you set your business goals for the coming year, it’s time to move past legacy mindsets. Modern protection requires more than just software; it requires a team that is trained, vigilant, and ready to act as your first line of defense.

Today’s business technology is like operating in the wild west. It’s expansive, fast-moving, and if you aren’t careful, it can gallop away from you before you even realize it’s gone.

It’s time to saddle up and start earning some savings. Today, we wanted to give you a guide of sorts that can help you round up your expenses and bring your technology budget back under control.

Fast forward to today, and the game has changed entirely. "Hoping for the best" is no longer a viable business plan. As you prep your resolutions, it’s time to hit the ground running with a cybersecurity posture that is as modern as the threats we face—a goal that will require training for your entire team.
