of information. Communication, transportation, shopping and medicine are just some of the things that rely on computers systems and the Internet now. Much of your personal information is stored either on your computer, smartphone , tablet or possibly on someone
elses system. Knowing how to protect the information that you have stored is of high importance not just for an individual but for an organization and those in it.<o:p></o:p></p>
