5 Top Cybersecurity Threats: An Executive’s Guide

Business Cybersecurity is serious; an ever-present threat that executives are right to worry about.

But understanding the top cybersecurity threats — and the steps your business should take to be more secure — is complex and technical (and let’s be honest, not very interesting for most people).

Unfortunately, many of the resources out there that deal with cybersecurity do so from a specialist’s point of view.

The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) incorporated the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) in January 2020, which was updated to CMMC 2.0 in November 2021.
