The traditional perimeter-based approach to security depends on firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and web gateways to separate trusted users from untrusted users. Despite spending an estimated $143 billion on these types of security technologies in 2021, two out of three enterprises are still breached — at...
As cyberattacks continue unabated and the cost of ransomware increases, insurance claim payouts exceed insurance premiums. The insurance industry can’t sustain these conditions and is working to right the ship.
