If you were to talk to most Mac owners, they would tell you Macs don’t get viruses, so there is no need to take extra precautions. While wishful thinking, that isn’t exactly true.

what is a VPN and how does it work

As a small business, you understand all too well the importance of Internet security. You go to great lengths to protect not only your business information but the secured data of your customers.
