The rapid technological advancements of the past few years (or decades, depending on how far back you want to scroll) are only picking up speed, and the threats we face will keep evolving just as fast.

As the year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the past 12 months and make plans for the year ahead. For those of us in cybersecurity, the question is clear: what did we do to strengthen our security posture this year, and how can we do even better next year?
