The well-known Target data breach has cost over $250 million and counting to resolve. The scariest part? The breach could have been avoided if the right cybersecurity measures were appropriately implemented.
Cybersecurity is a rapidly-growing industry. In 2015 the industry generated $75 billion worth of activity. It is expected to reach $170 billion by 2022. Simply put, cybersecurity is comprised of the technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access.
Why is this industry generating so much spend? Advanced threats such as ransomware are compromising businesses every day, holding sensitive data hostage and while criminals demand a ransom to get it back.
