"The Webroot Business Community is a unique group of people who understand that the old way of Internet security doesn't cut it – and now we're giving them an outlet to share more forward-thinking approaches," said Catherine Buzzitta Kaiser, senior manager of Webroot Community and Loyalty Programs. "We are excited about this latest offering to our online community.
