Amidst ongoing digital transformations across organizations, network infrastructure is a critical concern, posing challenges in lifecycle management and security. Malicious actors are exploiting these vulnerabilities, and companies are paying for it. In 2022, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 800,944 complaints, totaling $10.3 billion in losses. Ransomware attacks are escalating in frequency and complexity, making prevention incredibly challenging.
As companies continue to spend on digital transformation — Gartner estimates global spending will reach $4.6 billion by 2026 — they must also protect themselves. Corporate IT systems are increasingly vulnerable to cybercriminals, who exploit security gaps and deploy intricate attacks to spread ransomware or malware within networks. The gaps left behind are typically authentication or peer-to-peer communication-based, and the most effective way to alleviate these pressures is through zero-trust strategies.
