Cybersecurity becomes a top requirement and it’s critical as we deliver services, deliver products, as we live our lives. Take a look at maybe smartphones, smart offices, or working from home, all of these things are part of life. We can’t do anything about them. It’s the way the world is going. What is important and critical is to protect ourselves from intrusions and disturbances within the system itself.”
