Get Your Head Out of the Sand!!!
  • Cyber security is becoming a topic frequently touched upon at corporate board meetings due to pressures by anxious shareholders holding upper-management responsible for data breaches.

New England Patriots and Losing Unstructured Data
  • We create mountains of data everyday and about 80 percent of it is unstructured.  That means it’s not stored in a database.  It’s documents, text messages, emails, videos and everything we create on desktops, laptops and mobile devices that we store locally, remotely or share.
