One of the biggest concerns and challenges in cyber security is knowing who has access to which data and applications within an enterprise at any given time. This has become all the more complex for IT and security management with the growth in cloud services and the increased use of mobile devices, which create many more points of access within organizations.
The Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT represent a massive new cyber security challenge for many organizations, vastly expanding the potential attack surface because of the greatly increased number of end point devices in use.
Cyber security breaches can come from a wide variety of sources: Hackers out to exploit vulnerabilities and make money or wreak havoc; nation states looking to gain an economic advantage; competitors aiming to steal intellectual property; and disgruntled employees plotting to cause damage at their companies—to name a few.
