Security threats in the cyber age

The ever-increasing risk of cyber attacks in Australia and the rest of the world is pushing small and medium businesses to invest in content security solutions.

It has been predicted that the secure content management market will grow exponentially over the next four to five years.

"The rising sophistication of security threats, enterprises' growing dependence on e-mail and web applications, the popularity of the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend, and the growth of managed security service providers (MSSPs) have given a boost to the content security market" claims a recent study compiled by Frost and Sullivan.

The research conducted by this business consulting firm, titled Analysis of the UAE Secure Content Management Market, has demonstrated that companies desirous of protecting their cyber property injected over $72.3 million into this market last year.

The projected income for the secure content management market by 2018 is approximately $193.3 million.

It's great to see that businesses are taking threats to their security seriously and taking steps to ensure their cyber property is safe from harm.

Even in this cyber age, though, the physical assets your business possesses are still at risk of being damaged or stolen.

How would you access this cyber property, say, if the majority of your company's computers were stolen or damaged? That's where a solid business insurance plan can help you out.
