In order to defend against today’s threats, IT teams must take a layered approach to their cybersecurity. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to guarantee effective security posture, nor a single defensive mechanism that can ensure security across modern distributed networks. With this in mind, IT security teams have a lot of ground to cover. Today, IoT, mobile malware, cryptojacking, and botnets are top focuses for cybercriminals, but they may have moved on to new threats by Q4. Because of this, IT teams must continuously update their defenses based on current threat trends. It’s the classic problem of security teams having to cover every contingency, while cybercriminals only need to slip past defenses once. What complicates this challenge further is that the strategies and attack vectors that cybercriminals rely on are always evolving. In Q3 of 2018 alone, FortiGuard Labs detected 1,114 exploits per firm, each representing an opportunity for a cybercriminal to infiltrate a network and exfiltrate or compromise valuable data. In order to safeguard themselves against a successful data breach, IT teams must stay a step ahead of cybercriminals by defending against a barrage of increasingly-sophisticated attacks at high volumes. Cybercrime is an ever-present threat facing organizations of all sizes.
