Large-scale data breaches are reported in the press almost daily, with devastating consequences for the organizations and individuals involved. Technology innovation—from cloud computing to the Internet of Things (IoT)—is expected to drive a 100x increase in connected devices and a 1,000x increase in data traffic by 2020. This dramatically increases the network attack surface, and cybercriminals are using highly sophisticated methods to exploit this opportunity.
As providers evolve towards a more adaptive network—with increased levels of automation and fewer manual processes, security is paramount to protect the exponential growth in data traffic over the network. It’s crucial to ensure the right security measures are in place to detect and mitigate security breaches. A comprehensive strategy embeds security consciousness across the fabric of your entire organization, minimizes the attack surface of your network, and prepares your people and infrastructure for future regulatory requirements.
