Understanding the Budgeting Crisis in Cybersecurity
Companies focusing on cybersecurity are making a critical mistake by allocating only a tiny fraction of their IT budgets to security. The reality is that with half of UK organizations encountering cyber threats weekly, these companies need to rethink their budget priorities.
Impacts of Budget Allocation on Security
