A cyber threat is an incident that can negatively impact your business operations, functions, brand, reputation or perceived image. It can also affect the accessibility, integrity and value of your data. Cyber threats may be caused by hackers, insiders, terrorists, cybercriminals or nation-states seeking economic or political gain.
While it’s easy to focus on technology-related cybersecurity threats, the truth is that the biggest threats are human. Cyber criminals exploit your employees, whether through their negligence or nefarious intentions, to steal data and disrupt digital systems. Human error is responsible for 95% of data breaches, proving how vital it is to prepare and train your team on preventing cyber attacks from happening in the first place.
The growing interconnectedness of digital systems creates new attack points for cyber criminals to target. The stakes are high—data breaches can result in financial damages, long-term customer distrust, and even identity theft. As cyberattacks become more complex, an all-encompassing approach is necessary to protect endpoints, networks, and cloud environments.
The right solution for your organization will integrate with your current infrastructure seamlessly and offer a wide range of detection capabilities. You need a platform that can detect and block malware, mitigate phishing campaigns, and prevent identity theft across all devices. Look for a service that offers open APIs and connects to your existing SIEM, firewall, or IAM system for seamless integration. This will help minimize the number of openings attackers can take and accelerate response times to prevent the spread of a cyberattack.
