Quotes:
"Sometimes it can take companies up to years to actually recover all of those systems. So they might have those core systems that are up, but it could take years to get the supporting systems adjusted and fixed to be operational again."
"A lot of organizations think, I don't have data that's worth stealing, no one would come after me, I'm not even a large organization. But the truth is that a lot of these attacks are really opportunistic."
"We're seeing a lot of frauds that are perpetrated by asking, Hey, I'm your regular supplier, but I need you to change my banking account information or wire me this money somewhere else."
"On the defense side, we're using AI to help us quickly detect patterns to identify perhaps misconfigurations or some suspicious behavior.’
"Organizations can help protect around the sophisticated attacks by making sure that they have controls all along the different ways."
