As businesses face a greater volume of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, it’s vital to have the right technologies and processes in place to protect their data and people. This issue is increasingly pressing as businesses pursue dynamic working policies that enable their employees to work from anywhere at any time.

The need for robust cybersecurity is particularly pressing in the cloud, considering 45% of data breaches occur in cloud environments, according to IBM’s latest Cost of a Data Breach Report. The scale of cloud growth means the threat is only likely to increase. The global cloud computing market grew from $405 billion in 2021 to $480 billion in 2022, but it’s projected to increase significantly to $1.7 trillion by 2029, according to Fortune Business Insights.
