One of the most challenging parts of running a modern business is securing it from today’s growing list of threats. If you don’t take cybersecurity seriously, there is a real risk that your business will be the next local or national headline about the dangers of cybersecurity issues. One of the easiest ways to prevent yourself from becoming another statistic is to hire a security consultant.

Nobody likes getting big, unexpected bills from tech companies—neither the business owners who have to pay them nor the employees who might feel responsible for causing them. Small businesses face a tough choice: spend money to keep employees productive or save money and deal with slowdowns.

Most of us know that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, but fewer know that he’s specifically built his big castle and workshop someplace called the Laughing Valley. There, he and all the elves, sprites, pixies, and fairies that help him make his toys live and work to give the children of the world their presents each year.

Running a business is rarely easy. There are a lot of moving parts that require attention and there are only so many hours in the day to get everything done.
