The average loss suffered from a single cybersecurity breach is now close to $4 million per incident. Multiple factors are raising the risks and costs associated with cybersecurity breaches, but one thing is clear: Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and as a result, so are cybersecurity threats.

In short, security is intrinsic to their business.
