The number of cyberattacks and breaches rises every year. The complexity and sophistication of attacks is also rising, and businesses have to reckon with extortion, regulatory reporting, and legal implications of each breach. Unfortunately, very few are prepared to deal with major attacks and breaches can produce catastrophic consequences.
