Cyber Threats Result in Surge of Data Breaches
The increase in cyber threats has resulted in a surge in data breaches, exposing millions of individuals and their sensitive information. Ransomware is quickly becoming the latest cyber-attack epidemic, with an average of 4,000 attacks per day, according to Symantec. With 89 percent of all cyber attacks involving financial or espionage motivations, according to the 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, companies need help. Companies and organizations in healthcare, government, retail, and education turn to ID Experts for breach response solutions to mitigate risk from cyber and other threats.
“Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. “This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls.”
“This year’s Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors.”
Overall, 2016 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 121 percent to 66,661 percent from 2012 to 2015, with median growth of 290 percent.
