IT security commentators believe that most organizations probably already have experienced some form of a data breach. For instance, a recent U.S. Government interagency report indicates that, on average, there have been 4,000 daily ransomware attacks since early 2016 (a 300 percent increase over the 1,000 daily attacks reported in 2015). The ongoing challenge is to overcome the different and emerging sources of security breaches and to install the right defenses to address areas of vulnerability.
