One of the worst things you can go through as a company is a data breach. It costs a small fortune (average of $4.35 million as of 2022), destroys your reputation, often leads to bankruptcy, and takes a massive toll on your employee's well-being. Thus, preventing a data breach should be top of your to-do list. Today, that means taking a hard look at your connected endpoints - starting with IoT - and making sure you have the necessary tools to keep them from putting you at risk. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enabled impressive progress in many fields, but as our reliance on it grows, so does its abuse.

At its core, multi-cloud involves using cloud services from more than one cloud vendor. It can be as simple as using software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions like Salesforce, Office 365, or Dropbox from different cloud vendors. However, in the enterprise, multi-cloud typically refers to the strategic use of multiple cloud providers for running critical applications and workloads. Here, cloud services tend to fall into more specific and technical use cases like platform-as-a-service (PaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), function-as-a-service (FaaS), and container-as-a-service (CaaS).
