Too many of us associate cybersecurity with credit card theft and think the solution is for our banking partners, social media platforms, and large retailers to improve and increase their data security practices. But in the world we live and work in, where our systems are increasingly interconnected and our employees and customers are logging in to access their work or our products from all over the world and on all types of devices, the risk is much greater than we imagine. As the complexity and sophistication of our interconnected systems increases, so too do the skills of our adversaries.
