Nowadays, criminals and threat actors can impact on many aspects of our lives more easily because of the seamless always-on connectivity. Attacks are increasing with no doubt in these years, so we are always in demand for effective and innovative cyber-defense. This kind of cyber-defense should combine real-time threat prevention, shared intelligence and advanced protections across all networks, cloud and mobile deployments.
