Data Privacy Week 2023

I often say that cybersecurity is a marathon, and IT experts can usually take your company through the first 26.1 miles. However, the race is not over until you cross the finish line, and when it comes to sensitive data, you have not crossed the “finish line” until the data is completely and properly destroyed.

Data at rest is data at risk, and retired IT assets can still pose a significant threat for a data breach.
