Cyberattacks can intensify existing security issues while exposing new gaps at the perimeter, posing several challenges for IT and security personnel. Infrastructure must be resilient to the security flaws introduced by the massive proliferation of devices that generate, capture, and consume data outside of the traditional data center.
The need for a holistic cyber resiliency strategy has never been greater — not only for safeguarding data at the edge but for strengthening protection from all endpoints of a business to centralized data centers and public clouds.
