I was self-employed at the age of nine. I used my pocket money to buy sweets and then sold them for a profit to other kids at school to make myself some a few extra dollars and be able to buy better bike and skateboard parts.

The industry is ever-changing. Everyday you wake up knowing something has shifted in your field that you'll need to get across and become familiar with. This is particularly evident in the security sector, where technology is used to defend and protect businesses from hackers, organised crime and malicious malware traversing the internet and vendors are forever building patches and fixes to deal with the latest outbreaks.
You think you have a disaster recovery plan?
Think again. Most businesses only have PART of a DR plan - and this spells business disaster in the event of an IT disaster.
