Cyber Security: Make it a Habit

This you can’t ignore.

Between January 2005 and October 15, 2009 the United States has experienced 1979 data breaches with 477,831,781 records exposed!  That is a very high number considering that as of July 28, 2009, the U.S Census Bureau reported the population of the nation as 307,024,333.  This means that out of every 100 people, 85 have had their records stolen!

You can’t afford to ignore security.
