In an increasingly digital world, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for all industries, and tax professionals are no exception. The sensitivity of the data handled by tax professionals makes them prime targets for cyberattacks. However, many tax professionals struggle with implementing robust cybersecurity measures. Here’s why and how you can overcome these challenges.
