Here's a what's the biggest threat facing music venues, sports stadiums and theaters?
Well, I don't know, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that it's insider threats.
What I mean is, I think there are a ton of people who want to get free entry into all these places, and they do get in without paying all the time by using an insider.
I've seen it with my own eyes.
I've been to the movie theater and saw someone pay their way to go in and then once inside, open up one of the side doors and let their friends in who are outside.
And I've also seen the same thing at a baseball stadium.
Someone was standing outside the exit and they were just waiting for someone inside to leave.
And as soon as that door opened on the stadium, boom.
They grabbed the door right before it closed and went inside and quickly blended into the crowd.
They just got free entry into a sporting event, all because someone on the inside let them in.
Insider threats are a major problem the companies have to face.
These are true stories from the dark side of the Internet.

It's pretty daunting starting the workday and seeing unread messages here, unread emails there, and some documents you've got to go over and edit.
Ten minutes in and you're already drowning in tabs that you have open.
I find the key to managing multiple tasks is to focus on finishing each task one by one.
And since so much of our work nowadays is written, it makes sense to use Grammarly as your AI writing partner to help you get through your work faster.
