Cyberattacks Are Inevitable, Is Your Network
Ready?
By Tracy Collins, VP of Sales, Americas, Opengear
When companies think about fortifying their cyber defenses, typically, this process involves purchasing
the latest cybersecurity software, training employees on best practices and committing to routine
monitoring and vulnerability testing. While these techniques are crucial to preventing cyberattacks and
data breaches, even the best efforts won’t stop 100% of all attacks.
A frequently cited statistic quantifies the rate of attacks launched against computers with Internet access
at 2,200 per day, or one cyberattack every 39 seconds. As such, cybersecurity experts often say that a
breach is not a matter of if, but when. Businesses should (in addition to implementing methods and
solutions that minimize cyberattacks) invest in solutions like out-of-band management that enable their
networks to recover quickly from these incidents if and when a breach occurs.
