Why IT & Cyber Security Should Be the Biggest Concern

Some experts predict that by 2020 there will be 200 billion connected things. Cars, planes, homes, cities, and even animals are being connected. We are putting software everywhere. This is changing the way we live and how we behave and interact with the world around us. In today's world, it’s important that technology is available, protected and secure. If not, we will suffer consequences in our daily lives.
