It can be tempting to rely solely on security infrastructure such as firewalls, endpoint protection solutions, and other core cybersecurity technologies for protection. However, this approach carries significant risk. Regulators across Europe now expect organisations not only to prevent breaches but also to respond swiftly, contain damage, and promptly report incidents. As a result, the […]
