Security

Cybersecurity has been a challenge from the beginning of IT and it will be until the end. It all started with endpoint and network security, but today we are also dealing with cloud security and training our employees to incorporate good security practices. All these new technologies that help us innovate also help cybercriminals and state-sponsored hackers get new tools that they can use to access our systems and, in the worst cases, gain access to our most valuable data and trade secrets. Moreover, with new legislation such as GDPR, you have to make sure everything is secure or you will not only lose your reputation, but you could also be fined by the government. In short, protecting IT environments is more important than ever.
