"Know your attack surface, and start to use intelligence to understand what threats are most relevant to your business"

When it comes to cybersecurity and online protection, many regional ISP and telco providers are very late to the party to defend against malicious actors, like in the case of Russian APT groups. The COVID-19 crisis outlined the importance of the internet and computers. However, it also emphasized the importance of online security.
