Movie Rentals -> Used to have no idea how much people viewed stuff. Movie rental store might tell you in aggregate monthly. But now with Netflix or VOD, you know every view, what time, how they found the movie through search or recommendations, how many times you paused it and where etc… many more user interactions are happening and being captured

Of businesses that have suffered from a malicious breach or attack
Security threats continue to evolve – and get smarter – making risk management a consuming task for IT teams and MSPs. There were over 400 million known malware instances in 2015 and that number continues to rise. And those instances are not easy on the wallet – each malicious attack is estimated at $73 thousand dollars. That’s not to mention the cost of having your computers or your customers offline for an extended period of time. What’s even scarier is how commonplace breaches and attacks are – almost 60% of it teams have experienced a breach or attach at some point.
