While insider threats are not particularly common in the dramatic, over-the-top way that they are made out to be in movies and media, they are still a very real issue that should be addressed by your organization’s network security protocols.

From the technology side, many businesses struggled to obtain normality in a world that suddenly shifted to remote. If you managed to do it on your own, we applaud you. We saw the struggle and were able to assist with our clients through technologies we had been using for years, and for the most part, it paid off.
