In today’s digital landscape, data privacy and protection are more critical than ever. With cyber threats ever-present and on the rise, businesses and individuals alike must take proactive steps to secure sensitive information and comply with industry regulations. Whether you operate in healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, or any other sector handling personal data, robust privacy practices can protect your customers, enhance trust, and prevent costly breaches. Likewise, individuals must take similar precautions to safeguard their personal information from identity theft, financial fraud, and cyberattacks at home.

"I Facetime with my sister and two-year-old niece all the time. It’s one of my favorite uses of technology, but when I answered their call on a recent Tuesday night, I was greeted by three strange men waiving at me from an internet cafe. It was a real shock. I hung up, they called again. Each time, my sister’s photo came up on the screen which made it upsetting. I wondered, in an old-fashioned way – are the lines crossed? Could phone lines even be crossed in the age of cellular technology?! Then, I started to get texts and threats from her phone number. I couldn’t believe my sister or I had been hacked. I emailed my sister to not make contact with me over the phone for the time being. We both tested some things and turns out it was me they were after. A bit rattled, I began to dig in. "

My business is too small to be hacked, right? Wrong! It seems that, once a month, there is a report about XYZ Company announcing that they had a security breach. The worst part, it happened 3+ months ago and they just figured it out. As a small business owner, you may be saying, “This can’t happen to me! I am too small to be hacked!“ You may think that hackers are after larger companies with deeper pockets. As a managed service provider, The Walker Group hears this all too often and usually after the attack has already happened. Now, the business owner is left with lots of difficult and expensive choices to make.
