Let's explore the rise of cyber-attacks and considers how organizations can stay one step ahead.
Sophisticated large-scale corporate cyber-attacks are on the rise. When successful, their impact can be devastating and potentially affect multiple organizations.
Recent breaches have demonstrated the skill and ambition that these cybercriminals employ to gain access to data. British low-cost airline group EasyJet became a target of a highly sophisticated cyber-attack that affected approximately nine million customers last year. Similarly, a few months later, Hackney Council was hit by a serious cyber-attack which disrupted services for residents and saw private documents published online.
Such attacks emphasize the criticality of a multi-layered security strategy that covers the entire network. So, how can businesses go about creating such a strategy in order to be able to successfully guard against these kinds of attacks?
