Cyber Crime Activity on the Rise

Cyber attacks are on the rise and it's not only some kid stowed away in his parent's basement, but fully funded and trained cyber attack teams, many of whom are state sponsored. Their targets vary greatly, depending on the chosen objectives. Financial gain, credit card fraud, industrial, commercial and personal espionage, power grid disruption, disinformation and misinformation, and other reasons. Due to the rising costs of these disruptive crimes, there is a greater need today, now more than ever, to secure your business and even your home assets. Finding these vulnerabilities and mitigating them is more important now than it was even three years ago.
