The significance of data in the business landscape has never been more pronounced. The potential consequences of losing critical information, such as customer data, proprietary trade secrets, employee records, and intellectual property, are far-reaching. Such losses can adversely affect a company's ability to innovate, its profitability, and its brand reputation, and even expose it to potential legal penalties. In today's environment, there is a growing consumer insistence on data privacy and security. A majority of consumers are unwilling to do business with a company they do not trust to safeguard their personal data.
While every effort is made to prevent cybersecurity breaches, it's important to acknowledge that they are sometimes inevitable. Many organizations mistakenly believe they can entirely avert all attacks by investing heavily in defense. However, prudent organizations understand that achieving the right cybersecurity strategy is a delicate balance. Instead of exclusively allocating resources to breach prevention, these organizations adopt a more balanced approach, focusing on resilience. They embrace an `assume breach` or `zero trust` philosophy in their cybersecurity strategy.
