As organizations undergo digital transformation and shift to cloud operation their systems, once internal and centralized, are now external and decentralized with multiple points of interconnection that are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. In addition, this modern digital infrastructure works by orchestrating services and systems contracted to third-parties that requires ongoing cybersecurity supervision. Not only that, but vulnerabilities are not just technical, but often caused by human factors. Consider, for example, the careless handling of personal data or, for example, episodes of sabotage carried out by disgruntled employees. Clearly, cybersecurity is a cross-cutting concern and is everyone's responsibility.
