A digital world requires a security evolution

SPONSORED: The nature of the digital world is such that there has never been a more dangerous time to be in business. Cyber attacks are surging, ransomware and phishing are growing in both the breadth and depth of their onslaughts, and a digitally transforming world is progressing towards cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) at a pace that is opening up swathes of new attack vectors.

The challenge, security-wise, is that as fast as businesses are evolving digitally, the potential threats these organisations face are evolving as fast – if not faster – than the enterprises themselves.

Remember that as bricks and mortar organisations evolve into digital businesses, so the protection of electronic assets has become increasingly critical. After all, with these companies now existing in cyberspace, what was previously a physical facility is now represented on phones by applications. These new platforms create new challenges, not only in terms of concerns around cyber attacks, but also around obtaining the relevant security skills to defend your business against such threats.
