For years, cybersecurity has been considered an IT issue, a compliance concern, or a risk management discussion. But in 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made one thing clear: cybersecurity failures are now a financial and regulatory liability. 

Consider the fact that you’re deploying more technology, storing more data, and letting more employees work from home. That means your exposure to attacks and the potential financial impact of those attacks has increased. 

How can you tell if the cybersecurity you have in place is strong enough to withstand hackers? Well, you really can’t. But you can look at what your cybersecurity is doing and do your best to strengthen it.
