Personal Statement
I would love to take this all across Canada as there is a serious need for a way to convey complex cybersecurity news and information in a simple, clear cut, easy to follow format for those that might not be technically inclined. I kept thinking how hard it must be to try and do the research needed to keep one safe when all you are faced with is technobabble and in most case not a clear enough answer to actually help protect those in need of the information.
Please reach out to us, we would love to hear from you
