With the intensity and frequency of ransomware attacks occurring in this day and age, it’s often challenging to keep up with the best ways to protect your business from these attacks and more. Ransomware, IoT and other attacks are encroaching on businesses across the world and their threats continue to grow. Ransomware attacks are growing more than 350% annually and IoT are attacks skyrocketing, with attacks up 600% in 2017 alone. According to Gartner, it’s no wonder that information security spending is reaching well over $114b in 2018 with an expected growth rate of 8.7% in 2019.
“With information security spending expected to reach upwards towards $124b in 2019, the topic of cybersecurity remains one of the hottest in the tech and telecom industries today. A critical issue that spans the world, there remain several challenges, including a shortage of skills and lack of total control. Fortunately, with the focus so strongly on cybersecurity, leaders continue to take the reins in exploring the technologies and techniques needed to successfully confront cyberattacks.”
