Major software companies have been hit with fines from breaches and millions of users data has been exposed illegally. This year marks the 15th anniversary of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Here at HHS Solutions, we have pooled together some resources that we hope will help people become more familiar with best practices in using technology.
