**In the first six months of 2020, more than 27 billion records were exposed as a result of data breaches. This figure exceeds the total number of records exposed during all of 2019 by more than 12 billion records.***

**Today, organizations in nearly every industry rely on information technology to conduct business.**

While modern technology provides many advantages, it comes with certain threats that can put a company at risk.

**Cyberattacks are expected and prevalent in our digital world.** We are no longer shocked to hear about a massive data breach because they have become part of a **new normal.**

This eBook will cover several areas that leaders need to consider around cybersecurity, including:
