The 18th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security gave researchers, policymakers, and security professionals a chance to share findings and ideas. Read the highlights.
Mass layoffs. Budget cuts. Funding shortages. Fears of recession. Headlines paint a bleak picture for organizations in 2023.

Fortunately, this isn’t the state of business today. Organizations transfer trillions of data points across borders daily.
