Synopsis
The cyber security industry was founded to protect businesses from getting breached. Simple.
Yet, since the first computer virus was reported more than three decades ago – breaches have increased exponentially year after year, after year. In the last year alone just over eight and a half billion records were reported as breached. The number exceeds the actual population of the planet which unfortunately means that some percentage was lost more than once. Not good.
Last year the World Economic Forum included cyber-attacks, data fraud and information theft in their Top 10 list of risks considered either most likely to occur, most impactful should they occur, or most concerning for doing business globally. Also, not good.
The statistics are everywhere and overwhelming. Clearly, our industry has failed with its core objective – miserably.
Could it be that the cyber security industry is, in fact, NOT designed to stop breaches?
