Hi: This month's newsletter shares resources, ours and from sources we respect.

| View in browser The Cloud Forward March 2024   The Times They Are A-Changin' Good day,   The title of the well-known Bob Dylan song feels appropriate as we head into spring and, once again, a new technology landscape. Over the next several months we will be stepping into the emerging world of Artificial Intelligence. In its infancy, AI holds great promises and can create great risks.   Security will be at the core of successful AI services, ensuring that your business's information and tools are protected. Within your business, data classification and permissions/access management will be key to ensuring information is only available to those who should have access.   A solid set of standard security services is now the baseline expectation. We are seeing trends that will require you to do more. Government and industry regulations, cyber insurance carriers, and supply chains are defining higher expectations. Failure to meet these expectations in the coming future will result in customer losses, increased costs, and legal and financial liabilities.   We are here to provide information, discuss ideas, and help you implement the security services you need to ensure your business is protected and resilient.
