Vulnerabilities and threats are the topmost concerns that companies take into account while determining the IT risk, which is followed by the value of the asset and the counter measures taken by the companies. Three of the five attacks on the companies are discovered by third parties, 96 percent of the breaches were avoidable by simple or intermediate controls; a quarter were not discovered for weeks; and more than a third went discovered for months. The worldwide risk and compliance market grew from $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion. With stricter compliance mandates, the market is expected to reach around $4.4 billion in 2013. In such a situation, how can the CEOs ensure that their valuable data is safe? Here are some of the best privacy softwares, which we think you should really spent on.
