By Ted Claypoole on November 5, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve been thinking back to simpler times when data was carried on paper and it required physical access to break into somebody’s files. Outside the hospital and maybe the bank there were few obligations for caring for this information hoard and nobody’s business spent much money to do […]
