Research from advisory firm Gartner predicts that companies are facing up to $5.2 trillion in added cost and profit loss from cyber attacks in the next 5 years.

For the uninitiated, Burning Man—a temporary, pop-up community of 70,000 people with a commitment to decommodification and gifting —may seem like the antithesis of typical entrepreneurial pursuits. Look a little closer, though, and it makes perfect sense.
