Ensuring strong protection against cyber threats is critical for companies. The complexity of protecting sensitive information and systems from malicious actors continues to grow considering that cybercriminals continue to try to make new breakthroughs to hack company IT systems.
To overcome these challenges, IT security supervisors must use tools that effectively monitor the security entities under their purview. One tool that is increasingly popular in use is the Security Scorecard.
