Cybercrime has evolved significantly since the first major threats emerged in the 1970s. Today, organisations of every size and across every sector are potential targets, with attackers looking to exploit everything from sensitive customer and financial information to critical systems and operational infrastructure.
The challenge is not simply protecting against external attackers. Security weaknesses can arise from misconfigured technology, vulnerabilities, compromised accounts, human error and unwitting insiders. At the same time, organisations must navigate increasingly complex technology environments, regulatory requirements, evolving threats and a shortage of specialist security skills.
