Cyberattacks aren’t new, but the stakes at every level are higher than ever. Adversaries are more sophisticated, well-resourced, trained, and adept at launching skillfully planned intrusion campaigns. Adversaries are intent on the compromise and extraction of data for economic, political and national security advancement. Even worse, adversaries have demonstrated their willingness to conduct destructive attacks. Their tools and techniques can defeat most common computer network defense mechanisms and the statistics are disturbing.

Protecting sensitive data and systems helps organizations to avoid costly security breaches, loss of intellectual property, business disruption and reputation damage. However, defending your organization from these sophisticated cyberattacks is a difficult job. Especially given the complex and volatile nature of the environment and the fact that many cybersecurity teams are juggling competing priorities, ever changing regulatory requirements with limited resources.
