Learn how to protect your business from cyber threats and at the same time, become compliant with the cyber security standards from the Center for Internet Security. We will also discuss “The Ohio Data Protection Act of 2018” and how this can help you gain a legal “Affirmative Defense” in a potential tort case against your business due to a cyber breach.
