2018 was another troubling year in the cybersecurity world. We saw a repeat of last year’s data breaches on a larger scale.

Hardly a week went by where we weren’t reading about a new mega breach. Even the popular online video game, Fortnite, was hacked and children’s personal data was found for sale on the dark web.…
Businesses are embracing hybrid cloud in record numbers because it lets them choose a mix of applications, services and platforms — all tailored to their needs.

That’s because every business is different. Each enterprise has unique business processes, security concerns, customer demands, and financial limitations.
