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.
“Validation from Momentum Partners reinforces the growing demand for technology and services that mitigate the risk of cyber breaches and resulting identity fraud,” said Bob Gregg, CEO of ID Experts.
