Digital Defense
It’s estimated that cybercrime will cost us approximately $6 trillion per year on average through 2021. In another research published by Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and the Ponemon Institute, ‘in 2017 the average cost of cybercrime globally climbed to $11.7 million per organization, a 23 percent increase from $9.5 million reported in 2016, and represents a staggering 62 percent increase in the last five years.’ No matter where you look, cyber risks to businesses are more than significant. Cybersecurity is a continuous process. It is not just a product. There are no silver bullets out there. Digital Defense, Inc. since 1999 is on duty to combat and ‘Shrink the Attack Surface™’. It is headquartered in San Antonio with Sales Offices in Houston, San Francisco, New York City (area), and Chicago.
