Nation State Cybersecurity Threats

Organizations often underestimate the interest of nation states like China in targeting them for cybersecurity threats. Recent revelations show that companies from diverse industries worldwide have been targeted by nation states. Even seemingly insignificant companies, like one making sprinkler systems, can be targeted for their intellectual property. Moreover, companies are at risk through their connections with targeted organizations. It is crucial for all organizations to prioritize cybersecurity defense by implementing strong cyber hygiene practices, allocating appropriate budgets, and understanding the gravity of the situation to secure their business and protect against potential cyber threats.
