Over the last two decades, the field of cybersecurity has undergone explosive growth. The shift to a digitally driven economy, the rapid progress and adoption of new technologies, the rise of advanced attacks and the commoditization of offensive tools have all contributed to cybersecurity’s continued evolution.
