For most companies today, the question isn’t whether a data breach will occur, but rather when it will occur. This predicament is primarily due to the sheer volume of data, the challenges associated with monitoring sensitive data, and the transition to remote work. Consequently, IT security teams are constantly navigating a dynamic and enduring risk landscape, making it exceptionally challenging to maintain data security and implement effective sensitive data protection strategies.

In today's digital world, where everything is connected, software vulnerabilities are a constant threat to businesses of all kinds. Malicious people who want to steal private data, mess up operations, or cause financial harm can easily get into software that hasn't been updated and is full of security holes. If you don't update your software, terrible things can happen, like data breaches, ransomware attacks, system failures, and damage to your image.

Increasingly targeted ransomware attacks, has cyber professionals on high alert securing their networks and understandably with a single attack being potentially such a massive loss (both in terms of finance, operational disruption as well as brand damage).
