“By the year 2021, analysts are predicting that cybercrime will be worth about $6 trillion worldwide,” he says. “So it’s an arms race that I would argue that organizations are losing right now, and I think there are many reasons for that.”
In a video interview at the recent Infosecurity Europe conference, Ager discusses:
- The state of data breaches and cyberattacks, including advanced persistent threats;
- The rise of breach and attack simulation tools, and why Gartner is tracking them;
- Handling advanced attacks in today’s resource-constrained environment.
Ager is vice president of sales for Cymulate in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Ager has held senior management roles at a number of cybersecurity companies for over 16 years. Most recently, he ran the sales team at Osirium.
