In the same vein, the rapid emergence of remote work has prompted an unprecedented surge in data breaches and cloud security threats. “We recognize the growing need for embedded IT and cybersecurity professionals to manage the security challenges posed by distributed workforces,” says Luke McKinney, Director of Cyber Recruiting. “For our clients, this means organizing a disciplined response to new security vulnerabilities, developing adaptive security controls, and protecting a largely cloud-based infrastructure.
