THE TRUE COST OF A SECURITY BREACH CAN BE ALARMING
Ransomware, malware, and phishing are everyday threats that can carry huge financial consequences for companies that are unprepared.
According to retarus.com, “nearly 80% of senior IT employees and security leaders believe their companies lack sufficient protection against cyber-attacks despite increased IT security investments made in 2020.”
Contributing factors like the pandemic, political unrest, and natural disasters are partially to blame for such cybersecurity vulnerabilities within organizations.
