The Importance of Cyber Security in Supply Chains.

Cybersecurity can be complicated for today’s businesses and IT teams. This is because more employees are working remotely and more businesses are introducing new technology. This puts critical business operations at risk.

Studies show that cybercriminals can infiltrate 93% of company networks, businesses suffered 50% more cyber attack attempts per week in 2021, and total malware infections have been on the rise for the last 10 YEARS. Moreover, 83% of growing businesses are not financially prepared to recover from a cyber attack, but nearly 9 out of 10 growing businesses haven’t purchased cyber liability insurance. Without the knowledge or ability to prevent cyber attacks, mobile devices are more susceptible to be lost, stolen, or have their data information leaked. According to studies, companies waste an average of 69 days to contain a breach, while companies that contain breaches in less than 30 DAYS save an additional $1 million. Without effective security solutions, businesses are less productive and waste more resources. This leads to the inability to effectively meet demands. That’s why it’s important to implement cyber security solutions to effectively manage your mobile devices. Cybersecurity solutions must help prepare your business for threats while also implementing long-lasting, effective tactics to reduce risk.
