Is it me, or has the cybersecurity landscape been a little bit quiet during this national cybersecurity month? After a wild 2017 and early 2018, the cyber threat landscape seems significantly slower. At the very least, the publicity around it has quieted down. Rest assured though, the threats are still there. Many organizations are still woefully underprepared to fight and respond to threats that are present and becoming more sophisticated every day. In this article, we’ll take a deeper look and provide some thoughts on how organizations can better protect against these threats. Not to give away the answer early, but it starts with Silicon Root of Trust.

We may be desensitized, but the threat is still real

Security is not a trend. It is ever present and the threat to organizations is still very real. Bob Moore from Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE -2.29% (HPE) and James Morrison with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) sat down earlier this year to talk about the state of cybersecurity and the numbers are jaw-dropping. I recommend you watch the video, but in a nutshell, the attacks are getting more frequent and more insidious. Additionally, the cost associated with cybercrime continues to climb.
