In fact, Gartner estimates that in 2020, the cybersecurity industry will shrink by almost $7 billion. Today, we’ll take a look at the cybersecurity market and why it is important not to slow your cybersecurity spending if you can help it.

The last time I had checked, ticket prices were over $600 on the low-end, and that was to reserve them 9 months early. With the pandemic, well, it’s just best to stay home. Fortunately, on July 3rd, Disney released the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical on Disney+. You no longer have to *Wait for It*. What if you want to watch Hamilton with your friends while still practicing social distancing? *We Know*, and we’re about to show you. Best of all, your friends won’t need to be *In the Room Where it Happens*. We’re probably not going to stop with the Hamilton song title puns either.
