Getting Started on Transforming Your Cybersecurity Posture

With breaches ever on the rise, cybersecurity is one of the highest priorities for virtually every enterprise. It is a frequent topic of C-suite and board discussions and has a ripple effect throughout the business as organizations look for ways to keep themselves safe. If you were to listen in on these discussions as the proverbial “fly on the wall” however, you would see that they are typically focused on gut feelings and anecdotal observations rather than hard facts and data. The hard truth is that most organizations only have a vague understanding of their attack surface and overall cybersecurity posture.
