Risk never sleeps for business as cyber-attacks continue to mount against our organizations. The very technology infrastructure that enables new business innovation and creates market value is under constant threat from digital attacks.
IT is tasked by their organizations to lead on mitigating cyber risk while simultaneously driving innovation and keeping the lights on. But IT is often overwhelmed and struggling to keep pace with all the new threats and regulatory requirements.
