00According to my understanding, the author first mention that information protection is only a concern of data-rich industries 01font00until now. 01font00"Until now" includes "now", right?02font00 00But why does the author later says that 01font00now02font00 02font00information protection is a big concern of all kinds of businesses? They are contradictory.02br
