With the World Cup in Russia this summer and the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 further down the line; organizations conducting business around the event will face unprecedented challenges with cybersecurity and data protection.

While SMBs and public sector organizations were not the primary target for cyber-attacks and data breaches when DLP solutions were first brought to market, newer automated threats via malware and data theft monetization strategies (i.e. identify theft, ransomware, etc.) have made it more efficient and profitable to focus on smaller organizations that were apparently in the clear.
