University of Maryland’s research shows that cyberattacks happen every 39 seconds. A weak or non-existent security strategy leaves your organization vulnerable to cyberattacks.

The infamous Equifax incident in 2017 happened because they did not fix a months-old issue someone in their IT team was already aware of. This oversight allowed the criminals to access their systems and spend 76 days within their network before they were detected.

Equifax is not alone in this. Many businesses suffer from security breaches because they don’t perform regular maintenance and ignore important updates. Cyber-criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and simple firewalls and antivirus software are no longer enough. Personal information, intellectual property, data, and information systems need protection from theft and damage.
