Why Do You Need Security Awareness for the Tech Industry?

The tech industry is worth $5 trillion globally and, whilst the pandemic hit many industries hard, the tech industry enjoyed a strong year while many people turned to online solutions for their work and home lives.

Digital transformation has accelerated at a rapid speed, and cybercriminals have been quick to exploit any gaps in security, both with the technology providers themselves and the individuals utilising the technology.

It is interesting to note that in the recent SolarWinds breach, the perpetrators focused particular attention on technology companies, including Cyber Security firms entrusted to detect malicious activity in their clients’ networks.
