effect your organisations security?

Business suffering a breach in the last 12 months, but more sophisticated and therefore more
harmful. Hackers who initially compromise a network can be in the network for months, and

dumps, or from criminals selling data such as your employees personal records, compromised
passwords, or system access exploits.
