With over 20 years’ experience as small business owner, Marg Lange joined the team at Cynosura November 2018 after her business the Real Tradies Wives of Melbourne suffered a cyber-attack.
In May 2018 Marg Lange had to make the heart-breaking decision to close the doors on her business after the attacks were becoming increasingly serious and her reputation could be damaged.
The decision to pull the plug on her business and walk away was not an easy one but having taken the opportunity away for further attack that could damage Marg’s reputation, Marg was able to move forward.
Marg Lange like any small business owner has endured the highs and lows of running a small business and takes setbacks as an opportunity to learn, grow and help others.
Gary Lowe was instrumental to Marg Lange’s discovery, recovery and awareness of how damaging cyber attack can be not just from a business perspective but from a personal one as well.
