This global event has left no place on earth untouched. IT departments have been asked to pull a rabbit out of a hat that they’ve never even practiced with. The pressure to perform quickly leaves all of us with a sense of vulnerability. That being said, we need to start somewhere. Focusing on cyber security must remain a top priority.

So whata are your priorities?
