According to Ajulo, Cybersecurity is now on the front burner in today’s digital world as more organisations are experiencing breaches and expending billions of dollars to protect their network.

He said that according to the latest forecast from Gartner Inc., worldwide spending on information security, risk management technology, and services was forecast to grow to about 150.4 billion dollars in 2021, representing 12.4 percent.

“These are designed to steal data and include spyware, adware, Trojans, and viruses.

“Additionally, with many people working remotely, it further increases the risks of any organisation’s security apparatus being compromised.
