Descripción: Cybersecurity attacks have increased exponentially in the last few years. Every day, as the rapid-fire evolution of technology marches forward, new, more complex cyber risks emerge, threatening significant harm to an organization’s brand and bottom line. Everyone and every organization is a target.

We need only to think of the high-profile attacks on well-known brands and organizations that appear in the world press daily, and consider the number of data records lost and the financial and reputation costs, to understand the impact.
