The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
