Data is the life line of pretty much all software.  From your source code to the keys that sign the software,  Perhaps, the most precious is your analytics be it scrubbed for privacy adherence or not we can still extract patterns and those conclusions are often priceless

With a sound foundation to work with we worry just a little less about that exploit and that comes with a its own set of benefits for your most important asset, your people.
