The impact of security threats is increasingly devastating.
With the explosion of the IoT, cloud and mobile, digital technology is now pervasive.
The opportunities for attack are surging, opening up new areas of vulnerability for security,
privacy and data integrity.
5 out of 6
organizations with
2,500+ employees

317 million
new pieces of
malware created
in 2014**
23% rise
in data breaches in
2014*, and a 50%
spike in successful
attacks since
2012**
$7.7 million
damage per
company in
2015*

3. Business leaders know it’s not enough to focus purely on prevention of
security breaches.
To truly defend and empower your organization, you also need to detect,
intercept and remediate even the most unthinkable threats.
Boardroom priority: “How resilient are we?”

“The impact of security risks is
understated because a lot goes
unreported. The costs of prevention
and remediation are massive and
the brands of organizations and the
reputations of their top leaders are
put at stake.”
Omar Abbosh,
Chief Strategy Officer, Accenture

4. Build resilience, outpace attackers and turn to what matters most: innovation and
business growth … uninterrupted.
