Cybersecurity for the
Technology Industry
Why Cybersecurity Matters for Technology & Innovation Companies
Technology Providers, Research Labs and High Tech Companies are facing more challenges than ever before to secure their data and services from cyberattacks. A majority of these companies rely solely on the internet, web applications or internet-facing systems to operate, which increases the extent of the damages that can be done by an attacker. These cybercriminals often seek to disrupt the availability of the services – which generally only acts as a smokescreen, allowing them to compromise critical data and intellectual property that can later be used for industrial espionage or even be sold on the dark web. Attackers will aim at any weak entry point in your system in order to reach potentially critical internal systems to perform further malicious acts.
