Employees create content on a daily basis. Much of this content has no long-term value and is not business critical, however, a small percentage is key to running operations. Some of it contains sensitive client information. Some of it contains intellectual property. If this data goes missing or falls into the wrong hands due to a ransomware attack, an organization could be severely wounded and could be at the risk of extinction.
In the past, security applications could keep this data safe and secure inside the data center, but 2020 has shown us that data is now under massive attacks by cybercriminals and is being used to cause great harm and expense to both large and small organizations alike.
