Cybersecurity risk has never been greater, while defending against cyber-attacks is more difficult today than it’s ever been. A successful cybersecurity strategy must be a diverse combination of fundamental security hygiene and an openness to new strategic ideas and technology innovation.”
Security hygiene and posture management has become increasingly difficult because of factors like a growing attack surface, the increased use of cloud computing, and the need to support a remote workforce. These factors can create security vulnerabilities that lead directly to cyber-attacks.
