Understanding ‘Left of Boom’ and ‘Right of Boom’ – Do You Know Which Side You’re On?
So, what’s this ‘Left of Boom’ and ‘Right of Boom’ business, you ask? Imagine them as the before and after of a cyber catastrophe. ‘Left of Boom’ is you, donning your digital armor, while ‘Right of Boom’ is picking up the pieces post-explosion – not quite as fun, right?
‘Left of Boom’ is all about those precautionary tales – stopping the cyber baddies before they can crash your virtual gates. It’s the chess moves you make to prevent the checkmate.

Together, they’re your full-fledged game plan against online threats.
