Security & Technology: Tech Talk (Sponsored by Appvance)

We are more reliant on technology from shopping to banking to entertainment but have you thought about the potential security threats to our privacy, personal information, and safety? As we become more dependent on interconnected smart devices in every aspect of our lives, how do we protect our personal information from being exposed and reduce the risk of invasion?
