In fact, the world needs +145% more cybersecurity professionals simply to meet the growing needs and global demands of the market.   There is real risk here too, share prices of breached companies fall over 7% in the two weeks after a breach is made public. Never mind the careers lost and brand equity bruised, the average breach causes $4 million directly in damages.       Fueled by the dizzying new array of technologies that makes change & innovation more vulnerable to cyberthreats, the Futureproofing : Next team + their panelists, explores what the biggest cyberthreats are and how to defend, and in some cases even harness the threats as potential value.    Episode Hashtags: #FutureproofingNow #FutureTrustSee all of webinars at: http://futureproofingnext.com/futurep...
