In this Friday's Op-Ed, I applaud this week's sentencing of one of the hackers behind the Kaseya breach in 2021 and discuss why these cases are so complicated and why we should all appreciate the efforts by law enforcement and the DOJ to reach successes like this.

Despite "efforts" cyber attacks continue to increase. I have thoughts on what you should do about it, particularly if you are a business owner. Perhaps someone will take me up on it.

This week's Friday Op-Ed talks about the lack of an "Easy Button" when it comes to cybersecurity. In other words, if you want to get CyBUr Smart and be Cyber Safe, it will take some work.  But there is value in that work.
