Despite increasing worldwide spending on IT security products and services, breaches and malicious attacks continue to grow.

A recent report published by IBM Security, Cost of A Data Breach Report 2020, revealed that worldwide, the cost of a data breach is going up.

Activereach – a top UK cybersecurity integrator based in High Wycombe, and Netskope – a global leader in cloud security, have boosted their partnership by donating much needed personal protective equipment (PPE) to local community charity, WWSET.
Further to a recent period of successful joint trading, both businesses felt that it was important to give back to the community that supports them.
Gartner’s latest report, Managing Privileged Access in Cloud Infrastructure, estimates that within the next 3 years, three-quarters of security incidents in the cloud will involve mismanagement of identities, access and privilege.
