    As the cyber security issue and vulnerabilities list continues to grow, im interested in opinions about possible cyber security issues we really "don't need to be worrying" about so much

    Or maybe 'a hyper focus on area's that don't need as much attention and could be directed elsewhere. 

    With so many different products and solutions avaliable for home end users to large enterprise. Coud there be area's consumers are speding wasteful time, effort and other resources on? 

    Eg. Would an average websiite owner really need to pay a price for a WAF (Web application firewall) or a small home office that doesent require a VPN spending a small foutune on a dedicated hardware firewall? Patches and updates? Certain virus? 

    How about other security IT security issues ? 

    Apologies. Can't seem to find how to delete this accidental duplicate

    These days I suspect most small businesses would be better off with hosted online services, especially if they aren't big enough to afford a full time person to look after their servers and hardware.  Yes, there is a chance of bad things happening with even well maintained online services, but I suspect it's a lot lower than the chance of something bad happening with a badly maintained, semi-obsolete D.I.Y. server that may, or may not, have an untested backup.
