Why are mid-sized organizations increasingly putting their hope in Managed Detection and Response providers who focus on real-time triage and investigation into data breach signals as they happen?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is living up to the hype. There are more than 20 billion end devices already networked through the Internet, with this number increasing more than three times by the year. In the process, end devices are becoming increasingly more intelligent and efficient, fueled by progress being made in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and even 5G, the new mobile phone technology, which creates the required bandwidths for data transfer in the IoT.

When it comes to cloud solutions, there are many questions regarding the migration process. To help with the transition, end users need to have a full understanding of what cloud is and what they would be getting. The security industry is conservative and can be slow to make changes, however it’s not a question of ‘if’ you might transfer to cloud, but ‘when.’

Though data breaches are a serious issue for large enterprise organizations, especially from a reputation perspective, the threat of compromise is a top concern for most small and midsized businesses (SMBs), too.

There’s no 9-1-1 or insurance for consumers that can remediate the irreplaceable – your identity.

There is a healthy fear within the cybersecurity community that hackers can exploit security vulnerabilities in medical devices with relative ease, thereby endangering patients and putting a healthcare organization’s data assets at serious risk.

The cybersecurity skills shortage has reached an all-time-high, with 53 percent of organizations agreeing they have suffered from this gap.

Despite their reputation as brute force attacks, Distributed Denial-of-Service incursions are increasingly diversifying as hackers learn that smaller, more targeted attacks often deliver the anticipated outcomes while going under the radar.

Retailers will be particularly susceptible to cyber crime during the most lucrative shopping weekend of the year: Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
