Businesses are increasingly becoming more vulnerable to cyber-attacks as they rely more on technology. One of the most effective ways to counter such threats on our networks is by implementing robust segmentation strategies.

Mobile devices have become an integral part of our daily lives in business, serving as our constant companions for communication and productivity. However, despite their ubiquitous presence, mobile devices are often overlooked when it comes to security. This oversight can lead to significant risks, including malicious applications, untrusted networks, and outdated operating systems.

In recent years, foreign intelligence operations in China have made significant strides in compromising key US infrastructure and corporate networks, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity awareness and efforts to secure networks, systems, cloud presence, and train personnel. This development demonstrates that state-level actors have a propensity to attack targets of all sizes, from small business routers and firewalls to Fortune 500 company cloud presences, such as Microsoft. As the risk landscape continues to evolve, decision makers must take proactive steps to improve their security posture.

The recently released 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) by Verizon is an insightful document that provides valuable information for business decision-makers seeking to improve their cybersecurity resilience.
