It has become commonplace to say that the state of cybersecurity has changed. It’s true—cybercriminals continue evolving their methods of attack. It’s not just malicious actors you have to worry about either—with the world growing more interconnected, it’s more likely than ever that insiders will accidentally cause a data breach.
