No one is better equipped to address the unique cybersecurity challenges that business leaders face than business leaders themselves. That’s why for this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, SensCy and the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) are partnering to showcase the perspectives of prominent industry leaders and SBAM members who have dramatically transformed their companies’ cybersecurity over the last year: Milan Gandhi, CEO of Med-share Inc., and Breanne Stuart, CEO of Homewatch Caregivers of Southeast Michigan.
