Can't say I've had much experience in any of this, as I've never had the need to store much sensitive information "in the cloud".

From what I've read, hackers are now using AI to bypass security systems that are supposed to be enhanced by AI, and most often the bigger the company is, the more likely they are to be targeted and hacked. If your business is fortunate enough to allow it, keep everything as much "off the cloud" as possible and locally store any sensitive information that you can.

I believe we use cloud services and other emerging tech features too much for convenience, to our detriment for security.

I completely understand.  At Tind-all Creative Marketing we hear that  .  People just want to do what they are good at and let the professionals handle the rest.  So many people try to do it themselves or hire a friend who does not have the skills and then they get frustrated when it does not work.  We build a personalized marketing plan that includes what your business needs and we can do it in phases for those who just want to test the waters or need to see the growth before they can invest more.  Great job turning to a professional to grow and I am sure you will be very successful for it.

Greatly appreciated Ethan. It is a hard earned training. Thank you so much for your kind encouragement +++ Much success to you!
