The changing methods of cybercriminals and the advent of new technologies which lower the barriers to entry for them , means it ’ s harder than ever for businesses to protect themselves . For instance , ready-made ransomware kits are now easily accessible to those without advanced technical skills , which has significantly expanded the pool of attackers . you are narrowing down the perimeter where cybercriminals can attack , forcing them to play on your turf . In the event of a breach , your most critical data is always protected .
To meet the fast-evolving threat landscape , we should not only be proactive in assessing our security gaps and address those with proven innovations , but also shift our mindsets to a security-by-design approach . This means we can no longer see cybersecurity as an addon , but as an integral part of our IT systems . x

Human error also remains the cause of many cyberattacks and data breaches , with employees forgetting to update passwords , software or opening phishing emails , for example . The consequences for businesses can be disastrous , with not just money at stake but reputation as well .
Traditional software-based approaches to cybersecurity like anti-virus are not sufficient by themselves in today ’ s threat landscape . Businesses must do everything they can to provide robust defences and look to adopt the latest technologies .
That ’ s why we are always looking for new ways to improve our offering and keep pace with the evolving needs of the industry . Unlike traditional cybersecurity measures , we use low-level AI deployed in the hardware of devices .
This robust last line of defence protects against sophisticated attacks while removing the need for human intervention . With strong foundations at the physical layer ,
