As more companies move operations online, digital risk is becoming harder to manage. Cloud platforms, remote workers, mobile apps, and third-party integrations have expanded the way businesses operate—but they’ve also created more ways for attackers to get in. A growing number of organizations are now realizing that their digital environments are larger and more scattered than they thought. It’s no longer just about protecting one central system. A company’s network could include employee laptops, unmanaged apps, forgotten cloud storage accounts, and vendors with access to internal tools. All of these points create potential entryways for cyber threats. The challenge isn’t…
