Data Security: Raising the Bar for the Mid-Market CLE
Security initiatives have historically been driven by compliance mandates and a healthy dose of fear. But as threats continue to become more sophisticated, so must our efforts in thwarting them. Organizations that used to think “we’re the small company, attackers go for the big organizations with more valuable data” have seen an increase in breaches as attackers shift their focus from the large, heavily secured organizations, to the often easier to breach small, mid, and emerging enterprise businesses. Automation in attack techniques has made attack targeting more random and democratic, and less protected businesses are experiencing disproportionate impacts.
