Introduction

The cyber threat landscape is ever evolving and organisations are fighting a growing number of cyber criminals using increasingly diverse techniques. We explore the best way to take control.

The cyber threat
landscape is ever evolving

Cybercrime is posing an unprecedented threat with studies showing that it will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 according to Cybersecurity Ventures. Additionally 47% of companies currently using digital workplace technology say their main challenge is protecting their business against increasing security risks.

As technology evolves and our work environments become more agile and complex, the current defences we have to protect our digital infrastructure, often perimeter-based with legacy anti-virus solutions, are quickly falling behind.

Trusted industry analysts, governments and the G7 nations agree on the urgency and need for organisations to bolster cybersecurity now:

“Organisations should think in terms of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ they experience a significant cyber incident”
