Have You Checked Your Security Posture?
This is the world we live in: attack attempts, newly discovered vulnerabilities and methods for gaining unauthorized access crop up on a daily basis. Massive breaches and compromised data among the enterprises we interact with regularly have become a commonplace part of the morning news.
According to Cisco, malicious actors have more means to execute attacks than ever before, and their intuition for timing is growing. While online traffic and mobile endpoints multiply exponentially, hackers gain a broader range of targets and innovative methods.
- 49% of security professionals surveyed in the Cisco 2017 Security Capabilities Benchmark Study reported having to manage public scrutiny following a security breach.
There’s no denying that we’re operating in a heavily risk-laden environment. It can be nerve-wracking for any business to evaluate its security posture given the landscape of today, but the good news is that there are definite ways to be as prepared as possible, starting with knowing how and why you could potentially be compromised.
