The second a system is connected to a network, it becomes vulnerable to a cyber attack. We’ve seen news of companies experiencing cyber attacks across different industries more often than we can count. But now that the automotive industry has joined the digital bandwagon, cybersecurity threats and attacks are also becoming an issue.
It's easy for cybersecurity teams to think they're doing everything to stay ahead of data breaches and cyberattacks in this post-pandemic era. For instance, you've probably rallied qualified experts to augment your IT ecosystem and supplied them with state-of-the-art threat detection and mitigation technologies that offer real-time insight into your infrastructure security.
The threat landscape is expanding and security professionals are barely keeping up. On a daily basis, CISOs and cybersecurity staff need to contend with new malware variants, data breach attempts, ransomware attacks, zero-day exploits - all while ensuring uninterrupted dedication to vendor risk mitigation efforts. With so many cyber threats testing your cyber resilience at once, where should you focus your cybersecurity efforts?
This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. There are more online stores and services available than ever, and you are able to shop for almost anything online whether it's groceries or insurance.

As more enterprises invest in this critical business function, certain best practices are becoming key to a successful TPRM program.
You can't do business without your vendors. They support critical elements of your organization, from cloud storage services to payment processing to physical items like office supplies or physical components. Your vendors make your organization run more efficiently – but sometimes at a risk to your financial, reputational and operational resiliency.
By 2025, there will be more than 100 zettabytes of data stored in the cloud – that’s a lot of data! With more applications needing to process a significant amount of data in real-time, there is a shift in demand for distributed cloud and edge computing. Fortunately, the distributed cloud brings many impressive benefits to organizations – generating immense cost savings, greater scalability, and reaching resource-intensive business demands.
As organizations look to take their 2022 security concerns head-on, they need to create resilient cybersecurity programs that help them make smarter, faster, informed decisions. In our recent webinar, I had the pleasure of chatting with security professionals Mike Wilkes from SecurityScorecard, Scott Fuller from Access Health, and John Beal from St. Charles Health. They discuss the challenges they face and how their security plans for 2022 to mitigate risk across their entire ecosystem.
