For years, most small businesses spent their IT budgets building a wall around their technology and data… but that changed after the global pandemic. Almost overnight, businesses began tearing down those walls to stay productive… and, in some cases, to stay in business. This happened so fast that many IT Providers and Staff could not keep up. The Attack Surface spread beyond the walls, and security was just an afterthought, exposing businesses to levels of risk few have ever seen. I could not stand by and watch as companies crumbled around us, so I began an ambitious rebuild of our business model from the ground up. I created our Proprietary Cyber Controls Framework to help our clients reduce their IT Risk and feel secure enough to start innovating again and ultimately grow their business.
