Threat Detection: Planning for a Secure Enterprise

By 2021, worldwide cybercrime damage is expected to reach $6 trillion--double what it cost businesses in 2015. Unapproved apps, unmanaged devices, poor password protection, and other security issues are leaving far too many organizations vulnerable to attack. And as organizations embrace digital transformation, it becomes increasingly urgent for the organization to increase control over their IT infrastructure and reduce security risks.
