Security

Expanding attack surface

Traditional cyber-security focused on enterprise perimeters. The proliferation of applications and connected devices has expanded the perimeter and created billions of new edges that have to be managed and protected.

Constantly evolving threats

Breaches and ransomware threats continue to grow. Malicious attacks are growing increasingly sophisticated and networks are increasingly vulnerable due to a proliferation of end points and employees' lack of cybersecurity awareness.

Support distributed workforce

Hybrid working means that networks have grown more distributed, and workers become more dependent on cloud applications and environments to do their work. Users want to work on any device, at any location, at all times. This adds massive complexity.

Complex, multi-vendor management

Many organisations are trying to manage alerts from multiple different security solutions and vendors that don't communicate with each other and have no ability to create automated workflows and policy changes across solutions leading to manual and slow responses to threats.

Protect reputation

Cybersecurity breaches often have a material financial impact in the short term but they can also cause incalculable damage to an organisations reputation. Consumer confidence to engage digitally can be impossible to win back.

Scarce cyber security skills

Cyber security skills gaps and skills shortages continue to pose a major challenge for UK organisations. COVID-19 and the rapid shift to remote working has intensified demand for cloud cyber-security skills leaving organisations struggling to recruit.
