ZTNA: Beyond the Buzzword, into Behavioural Reality

Spent this afternoon chewing the fat with Elise about network security. We were neck-deep in ZTNA territory, but not the glossy marketing version.

Is Your Data Backup Just Wishful Thinking? Testing and Validation: My Journey to Data Nirvana

Right, let’s talk about something that keeps many a business owner (myself included!) awake at night: data loss. We all religiously back up, right? Well, mostly religiously.
