“Cyber risk has become a fact of life for every organisation in today’s connected world,” said CYC head of Incident Response Anthony Hess. “As cyber crime becomes more complex and sophisticated, partner network providers like CyberScout can round out in-house capabilities with their own expertise, and can offer innovative, high-quality services on a global scale.”
