CYBERSECURITY MARKET UPDATE

June 7, 2017

Gartner forecasts global information security spending to reach $96.3 billion in 2018, up 8% from 2017. Growth in spending is driven by increasing regulations, shifting buyer mindset, awareness of emerging threats, and the evolution to digital business strategies. A shortage of cybersecurity talent continues to hinder the effectiveness of security operations, with 45% of organizations reporting a problematic gap in cybersecurity skills. Cybersecurity employment forecasts have been unable to keep pace with the rapid rise in breaches, leading to an estimated 3.5 million global unfilled cybersecurity job openings in 2021. Companies continue to increase reliance on outsourced services to manage their security operations – IDC estimates that services will be the largest area of security-related spending over the next 5 years. Gartner predicts that total enterprise spending on security outsourcing services will account for 75% of all spending on security software and hardware products by 2019.

22 Cybersecurity Tips for 2022

whitePaper | June 13, 2022

Many cyber-attacks involve ransomware, a form of malicious software or malware, designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid and a decryption key (commonly called a decryptor) is given to the victim. The encryption is virtually unbreakable without the decryption key, and you should not spend valuable time seeking a way around the encryption if you are attacked with it. Ransomware can spread in multiple ways, but most typically, through phishing emails or by unknowingly visiting an infected website. Ransomware can be catastrophic to healthcare and other organizations, preventing critical information and systems for patient care from being accessed, for example.
