Myth 1: Security diminishes productivity.
Truth: Enhanced cybersecurity should integrate seamlessly, HiCLIFF also helps boost productivity. Not to mention the loss in productivity a cyber breach can have on operation in comparison.

Truth: You could easily be the next target. Cybercrime is on the rise and becoming more and more sophisticated, it isn't a matter of if it is a matter of when.
Myth 7: You have achieved total cybersecurity!
Truth: There is no such thing as total or perfect cybersecurity against cyberattacks. As mentioned above cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and criminals are adopting new strategies, therefore organizations must remain vigilant and continue to develop their defense-in-depth cyber strategy.
