Fight Fire with Fire: Proactive Cybersecurity Strategies for Today’s Leaders
With today’s expanding attack surface, constantly evolving threat landscape, and growing cyber skills gap, cybersecurity leaders need actionable best practices from seasoned peers more than ever. As part of Fortinet’s Training Advancement Agenda (TAA) initiative, this book of collective advice brings together years of experience from a diverse group of accomplished experts in cybersecurity so that anyone in the field can leverage proactive cybersecurity strategies in the face of the threats of today or tomorrow.
Why We Need Proactive Cybersecurity Strategies Now
Just to give you an idea of the urgency of the need for practical solutions right now, Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs recently reported that ransomware had increased ten-fold in the last year. In addition, according to an (ISC)2 report, to fill the cybersecurity skills gap worldwide, 3.12 million professionals are still needed. Security teams globally struggle to keep pace with the growing, evolving threat landscape and digital transformation. They also are challenged to find talent to fill the critical roles needed to help combat growing cyber threats.
