A has launched a range of solutions to keep up with the rapid growth of associated attacks aimed at mismanaged or unpatched devices . “ Every day new devices are being added to the corporate environment bringing new threats and vulnerabilities in the picture ,” said J2 Software MD John McLoughlin . “ This is why we push for visibility of organisations ’ entire environment and this must go beyond the corporate network in our modern , hyperconnected society .”
McLoughlin added that systems live inhouse and in the cloud with data being accessed and managed on several devices in numerous locations . “ Without visibility , you will not even know if something has been lost ,” he said . “ When a new vulnerability is discovered the cyber-criminals respond faster than most organisations and they make sure they exploit every new opportunity possible .
“ It is clear to me that cybersecurity and compliance continues to be a massive challenge for many organisations . Attackers are getting more sophisticated in their attacks and most people are defending in the same way they always have . What astonishes me is why they are not driven to change how they are doing things in the face of on-going failure to stop the problem .”
