And in this wave of digital transformation, data and applications travel between a variety of users and devices, spanning multiple borderless networks. While this positively impacts productivity and communication, it exposes the organization to risks of valuable information being compromised or stolen, data breach or leakage through unauthorized means or malicious forces, resulting in expensive downtime, loss of business goodwill and / or legal penalties. Throwing light on the need of the hour – a seamless, impactful and effective security arsenal is essential to ensure your information is secured and contained.
