Cybersecurity - Thematic Research

Summary

The cybersecurity landscape is complex. Today’s always-connected world offers a myriad of opportunities for cyberattackers to disrupt countries, organizations, and individuals. Maintaining the security of IT systems is a constant struggle for organizations of all types. Cyberattacks are frequent and increasingly complex, perpetrated by those furthering a geopolitical cause or attackers intent on making money. State-sponsored attacks are a significant risk. No one-not even security providers themselves—is safe from attack. Companies manage an array of assets, including infrastructure, applications, managed and unmanaged endpoints, mobile devices, and cloud services—all of which are under threat. New vulnerabilities can be uncovered at any time, and there is also the worry of an insider attack.
