With cyber-attacks on the rise, there are rapidly evolving threats that cybersecurity professionals have to remain cognizant of. Information security protocols are also becoming gradually more difficult to implement in a more globalized world. However, earning and retaining customer trust is paramount now more than ever.
By remaining abreast of the big picture and key trends in cybersecurity, organizations can remain vigilant while addressing new threats in a proactive manner.
