January 1st, 2021 is just around the corner. It’s been a tumultuous 2020 and many people are relieved that it has finally come to an end.

What you have to do is make sure that your company takes a proactive as well as reactive approach to fill all the security gaps that are made obvious by cybersecurity assessment services.
Goals over Resolutions
