Modern businesses operate in a data-centric world, where every byte of information holds the potential to drive growth, innovation, and competitive advantage. But as our reliance on data deepens, so does our vulnerability.

One of the catchphrases of modern parenting is “little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems” – meaning that as kids grow, the scope of the challenges they face also typically intensifies. You could make a similar statement about cyber risk for financial institutions: Small companies tend to face smallish cybersecurity risks, while larger financial services businesses face bigger threats.

It’s no easy feat for a company to maintain security and enforce standardized policies across a fleet of devices.
