Running a small business can be overwhelming. Our podcast was created to bring a sense of calm to the conversations around protecting what you build from security threats. Tune in for practical discussions about security for business leaders. Listen here: mindfulsmbshow.com
A common mistake in security planning is making security policies overly tactical. When the rules are too specific, context can cause confusion and they become difficult to maintain. Policies that drive strategic decisions throughout the organization flow more easily instead.
Protecting your business does not require you to become a technical expert. Our podcast guests ask real questions and share real stories about simplifying their operations and finding peace of mind in the process. Join us LIVE tomorrow: focivity.com/podcast
