• The report also estimates that on average, every 
14 seconds a company will be attacked by 
ransomware, and predicts that by 2021, the total 
global cost of cyber crimes will be around $6 
trillion per year.

Internet of Things (IoT) device 
threats
• Nowadays, the world is becoming ever more 
connected with each passing day, as companies 
develop newer technologies to bring quality-of-
life improvements with the aid of IoT devices. 
• However, as often happens with cyber security, 
the more a technology is connected, the more it 
is vulnerable to cyber attacks.

access to sensitive or valuable data such as user 
and credit card information, usernames and 
passwords.

Data loss prevention
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a class of tools 
designed to protect organizations against the loss 
of valuable and sensitive data. 
• To do so, DLP tools detect, monitor and block 
potential threats.

The cloud
• The cloud is one of the most rapidly growing 
technologies today. 
• For many small companies and startups, the 
security that the cloud offers is much superior to 
what they could establish in-house, which makes 
the cloud a great solution.
