Threats are not going away, and globally, the information security workforce shortfall is increasing –a combination of facts that continues to trouble CIOs.
The global dependency on technology, combined with the ceaseless sophistication, frequency and creativity of cybersecurity threats, continues to increase our vulnerability at a national, organizational and individual level.
