A security audit is now a critical component of modern business. As organizations embrace cloud computing, data analytics and workplace mobility, they have to navigate through an increasingly complex world of data privacy mandates and legislature and sophisticated attack vectors.
In the current threat landscape, enterprises face a monumental task to maintain security and regulatory compliance. Not only do they need to protect themselves from cybercriminals, but they also have to contend with nation-states (with unlimited resources) that actively engage in cyberattacks.
