Cyberthreats are becoming a daily challenge for organizations and create a significant existential threat to operations. Cyberattacks are on the rise, increasing 67% since 2014, with an average cost of $3.86 million per breach in. They attacks are more sophisticated every year, and organizations struggle to stay ahead of these complex and multi-layered threats.
The current shift to a remote workforce who demand access to applications and data from anywhere makes this even more challenging. Before IT just needed to secure the perimeter to protect internal resources, but when the resources are distributed how do you maintain a strong security posture? And knowing that 95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error how do organizations ensure their staff are properly trained and have the right tools to stay safe?
Keeping up with these challenges can be a daunting task for many companies.
