New endpoint protection platforms & AI-powered solutions are a game-changer for companies looking to enhance their security capabilities and remain bulletproof. The worst of the pandemic appears to be behind us; however, enterprises are still adjusting to the post-COVID new normal. For many industries, remote work and the hybrid office remain essential adjustments that are not going back to normal.

Humans are considered the weakest link in cybersecurity. No matter how much a company invests in firewalls, antivirus, and other security software to detect, deter, and prevent attacks humans will always be the main vectors for compromise.

Phishing is one of the oldest cyber-attacks yet one of the most used by attackers due to its effectiveness and low cost.

Telcos are part of the vital infrastructure that serves as a forerunner for the rest of the industry as their digital environments change. Many major telecommunications companies have large retail infrastructures that are purpose-built to onboard new customers in shops, but the retail industry has been harmed over the years by security concerns and the demand for personal involvement at every stage of onboarding.
