As the digital landscape expands and evolves, so does the threat of cyberattacks that can disrupt and damage businesses of all sizes and sectors. That is why cybersecurity is a top priority and a frequent boardroom topic for many organizations today. Cybersecurity and data security rank first in risk categories for risk management and internal audit executives.1
Cyberattacks can also involve ransom demands that can cripple a business’ operations and finances. Recently, Caesars Entertainment paid out a sum in the tens of millions of dollars as a consequence of a security breach perpetrated by cybercriminals.2
Facing these risks, your network must be protected from the constantly evolving cyberthreats that companies of all sizes encounter. Cybersecurity and data security are not only vital for your business continuity, but also for your customer loyalty, brand reputation and competitive advantage. You cannot afford to ignore or underestimate the risks posed by cyberattacks, which can have devastating financial and operational consequences.
