3 common security threats and how to protect your organization
Organizations, regardless of industry, must prioritize security as they mature and scale. Safeguarding your people and data are of the utmost importance and if your organization is unable to meet those demands, you risk financial loss, data corruption, and complete disruption of business operations.
It is almost certain that an organization will experience a data or system security breach at some point in its lifespan. Cyber security threats are growing in frequency, diversity and complexity. According to a recent cybersecurity study conducted by IBM Security, it takes an average of 280 days to identify and contain a data breach and costs upwards of $3.86 million. Year over year, these numbers continue to rise, and without the proper visibility and control to monitor and assess risk, organizations are left vulnerable. Now more than ever, businesses must make it a priority to protect the sensitive data that they have been entrusted with. While it is critical to stay prepared no matter the likelihood of an attack, knowing your risks and tolerance level can help in understanding how you should prepare your organization. These measures could help you manage risk and reduce threats, preventing severe damage from financial burdens to IP loss. But what security risks might your organization be exposed to and what are the potential consequences for your teams?
