Tom Lambotte is a veteran guest on “The Law Entrepreneur,” now on his fourth appearance. His new platform product business, Security+, was built specifically to protect solo practices from cybersecurity threats. We talk about how it works, why it’s important, and how you can offload all of the security concerns you may have surrounding tech installation in your firm.
