The second Tuesday of every month is marked on just about every IT professional’s calendar.

Alexander Pope said, “To err is human; to forgive, divine.” When it comes to small business or any sized business for that matter, most customers are not all that forgiving, especially when it comes to loss of personal information, including credit card data, patient records or other financial information, stored by the company.
