Cybersecurity is paramount when thinking about setting up a good infrastructure across your technology landscape. As Zscaler founder Jay Chaudhry states “Businesses are firmly in attackers’ crosshairs.” Financially motivated cybercriminals conduct ransomware attacks with record-breaking ransoms being paid by companies seeking to avoid business interruption. Others, including nation-state hackers, infiltrate companies to steal intellectual property and trade secrets to gain commercial advantage over competitors.
Further, we regularly see critical infrastructure being targeted by nation-state cyberattacks designed to act as sleeper cells that can be activated in times of heightened tension. Companies are on the back foot. These challenges become even more critical during a merger/acquisition when the Buyer has to navigate through different complexities of the IT landscape when integrating their acquisition.
