Whether you’re a large Fortune 500 company or a small business, the threat of hackers or scammers lifting sensitive data from our organizations is on top of everyone’s mind.

IBM estimates businesses are attacked an average of 16,856 times a year. That’s 46 attacks every business has to deal with every day — or nearly two attacks an hour.
