Most businesses rely on some type of software, either for scheduling, payment, banking, customer lists, or something else. It’s important to know where this information is stored and what would happen if that software was hacked or you weren’t able to access it. Today’s guest is Kris Burkhardt. As Accenture’s Chief Information Security Officer, Kris leads a team of over 800 security experts charged with protecting company client and customer data.
