  • What are some of the main security issues that companies have to deal with?
  • Data loss from a security breach has the potential to paralyze a business. Do you see this as a rising concern?
  • In your experience, do you think companies are doing enough to avoid this type of data loss?
  • What are some of the best practices to avoid security issues?
  • If a company does experience a security breach and associated data loss, what's the next step for them to take?
