Protect Vulnerable Information
Protect Vulnerable Information
Big data needs big protection. As computer networks grow, so does the quantity of vulnerable information. 90 percent of the world’s data was created just within the last two years, and that data provides a wealth of insight at our fingertips, but it can also be detrimental in the wrong hands. As global trade becomes increasingly digital, the risks continue to rise. News of large-scale cybersecurity threats and cyber-attacks dominate the headlines all too often in today's information age; big-brand companies losing data, being hacked, or otherwise losing out to online hackers. As we continue to gather, process, and transmit these vast amounts of data, the need to defend and protect it becomes critically important.
