"Benjamin Franklin in a letter to Jean-Baptise Leroy said "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes." Today, nothing can be said to be certain except, death, taxes, and cybersecurity threats. It is our responsibility to educate, empower, and protect our citizens and businesses."
