How effective cybersecurity practices can accelerate business innovation rather than hinder it.
Last year was one of the worst years for cybersecurity, with the number of reported incidents, such as the WannaCry and NotPetya malware attacks and the Equifax and Uber data leaks, doubling compared to 2016. The overall picture in 2018 is not as dire, but recent incidents involving leaks from social networks Facebook and VKontakte, Sberbank and British Airways suggest that attackers are still head and shoulders above the companies.
The truth is that cybercriminals are using ghana mobile database advanced tools to run their businesses, while legitimate companies think about security last. For example, according to Carbon Black experts, cybercriminals spend 10 times more on finding vulnerabilities than companies spend on their security. Innovative hacking tools allow them to create large-scale and multi-vector attacks to generate serious income.
These attacks extend across local networks, mobile, and cloud infrastructure, and easily penetrate traditional detection-only defenses. However, Check Point's 2018 Security Report found that only 3% of organizations are using solutions with next-generation threat prevention capabilities. The vast majority of organizations are simply unable to withstand Gen V attacks.
Frightening changes
With the threat landscape rising, companies are becoming risk averse, focusing on protecting key assets and tightening security policies. Organizations are slower to adopt new technology innovations as they work harder to secure them both during and after implementation. According to a recent IDC survey, more than 80% of respondents said they plan to move their data out of public clouds and into private clouds or on-premises environments within the next year, making the data accessible only to corporate network users.
Cybersecurity can help, not hinder, business development
