In the digital age, cybersecurity challenges have skyrocketed, requiring corporate executives and boards to prioritize digital protection.

Cybersecurity safeguards your organization by ensuring that your vendors, suppliers, and third-party partners are protected.

In April 2023, a new rule is expected to go into place by the SEC for publicly traded companies.

Dubbed by the FBI as the $26 billion scam, Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks come with an average cost of $5.01 million per breach according to the 2021 IMB Cost of Data Breach Report. Do you have that type of capital to mitigate the costs of such a breach?

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have issued warnings that “every organization in the US is at risk from cyber threats.”

Cybersecurity is not all about business and government regulations. Hacking and bad actors can directly impact individuals. Experts are warning of the use of Apple AirTags for stalking and other malicious activities.

2022 is shaping up to be a challenging year for organizations looking to recruit IT professionals. It seems that many businesses will struggle to find the IT project managers, developers, analysts and cybersecurity staff they need to complete business-critical projects.
