Gone are the days when registers and logs were used for keeping consumers’ data, transactional details, and history of purchasing activities. The new technology era is here and is disrupting the age of conventional security systems and bringing a paradigm shift in the development of the security industry. The increase in cyber threats, vulnerability, data privacy, high costs, and well-informed matured customers are few of the major drivers behind this shift. Today, criminals don’t break into a premise physically to steal. Instead, they use technology to break in the network systems of organizations. Web applications and sensitive corporate information are getting exposed to vulnerabilities and are the potential open doors for hackers to break into the IT systems of businesses. Thus, organizations have no choice but to deploy technology that specifically secures these critical resources from attack. Similarly, business reputation is drastically affected by the instance of any security breach which has given rise to an immense need for a professional IT security provider.
