Your clients struggle everyday with protecting their organizations’ users and systems. The value and volume of a company’s data, systems and applications grow constantly. More than 50 percent of companies report being targeted by a cyber-attack at least once a week. These attacks increased since the beginning of the pandemic with 400 percent! Cyber criminals get more creative and innovative every day and try to attack and exploit remote workers to steal their data. This leaves us with the impression that data may be the new gold…

The challenging landscape within IT motivates cyber criminals to create more sophisticated and damaging malware. One of the latest and likely the largest cryptocurrency heists on record is reported by a blockchain project Ronin. They reported that hackers stole cryptocurrency now worth almost 615 million dollars from its systems last March.

Big companies are not the only victims of cyber-attacks. Almost 80 percent of companies worldwide have seen their IT cost increase to keep everything up to date and safe since the pandemic. Still too many companies rely on a frustrating and sometimes illogical patchwork of multiple security solutions.  These creates security gaps because a lot of solutions are integrated at a minimum.
