What Business Leaders Need to Know About Cybersecurity Preparedness

Cybersecurity is anything but a static approach; it is an ever-changing process that evolves as threat actors do. No single audit alone can keep you ready. Doing just one penetration test can’t keep you secure. It takes layers of security and a holistic approach to get a full understanding of your organization's unique threat surface.

Taking any kind of “set it and forget it” or “check the box” mentality to cybersecurity leaves your organization and customers susceptible to a cyberattack. New vulnerabilities are released every day, and new exploits shortly follow.

In this webinar, “What Business Leaders Need To Know About Cybersecurity Preparedness”, we will discuss and demystify common misconceptions about cybersecurity, the dangers of taking a static approach to cybersecurity, and how to properly map out your organization’s vulnerabilities to any remaining security gaps.
