Securing your data requires an enlightened view of what exactly you're trying to protect.
What is the importance of visibility in cybersecurity?
Visibility is essential in cybersecurity because security teams cannot effectively protect applications, clouds, or SaaS services without understanding what they are securing. Gaps in visibility can be exploited by attackers, leading to increased risks and vulnerabilities.
How have ransomware attacks evolved recently?
Ransomware attacks have become more sophisticated, with 79% of organizations experiencing an attack in the past year. The average ransom payment increased to $925,162 in early 2022, reflecting the growing complexity of attacks and the need for organizations to enhance their security measures.
What steps can organizations take to improve their data security posture?
Organizations should develop a comprehensive inventory of their cloud workloads, assess their cloud security posture, conduct data risk assessments, and utilize Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solutions. These steps help identify risks, minimize exposure, and enhance overall cyber resilience.
