NM CYBERSECURITY: DON’T GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN (5/21)
There is no Business Continuity w/o Disaster Recovery. In 2002, our speaker’s finance company collapsed when it didn’t protect its data when migrating from ACT to Goldmine. After losing all of the company’s data, and an average of 1 million dollars a month, the company closed its doors In just 13 months.
