As cyber threats evolve, the target has become crystal clear: your data.
A staggering 90% of ransomware attacks now include a data exfiltration component. With this in mind, KnowBe4 has introduced a robust free tool, BreachSim, to identify your network's vulnerabilities and shore up your cyber defenses.
