Near Miss Brent Lacy

If you own or run a business, you have likely had a "Near Miss". You just have not looked at it that way. As an IT professional, I see them all the time. It is usually something that the business operations or management people see as inconsequential to business IT security and not worth worrying about. Sometimes, a measure created that produces a "Near Miss" was originally intended to increase employee productivity. In some cases, it can even be your IT guy cutting corners to increase his profit margin or available time that creates the "Near Miss" in your business, putting you at risk. This book is not about flashy technology that will be the Silver Bullet to solve all of your vulnerabilities. This book is a tool that you can use to help evaluate your risk footprint and assess the service delivery of your current IT provider. The methods and practices you are about to read about are not theory. They are best practices adopted by some of the top service providers in the industry. In the last few years, I have used what you are about to read in order to help companies just like yours save as much as many thousands per month off their bottom line, while making them more secure. This is a book meant to give you as a business owner the tools and mindset to protect your business data and reputation. You can do this. You must do this, because no one else is going to do it for you.
