With businesses adopting the digital landscape, cyber security has taken on a new meaning. As an enterprise transforms digitally, the bigger the threat landscape becomes. While technology advancement is an inevitable component in today’s world, it comes with a catch. While it has enabled businesses to perform more precisely and intelligently, cybercrime has also increased many folds. Hackers, over time, are getting more sophisticated and their attacks more malicious. This reality mandates that every business needs new capabilities to protect themselves from lethal cyberattacks by adopting a robust security posture.
