Cannabis Sector Cybersecurity

As the cannabis industry continues to grow and gain mainstream acceptance, it’s important for businesses in the sector to prioritize cybersecurity. While all industries are at risk of cyber attacks, the cannabis industry is particularly vulnerable due to its complex regulatory landscape and the potential for high profits. With the potential for sensitive customer data, compliance risks, financial losses, and reputational damage, it’s crucial for cannabis companies to prioritize cybersecurity and take steps to protect themselves and their customers.
