    THE cyber security threat landscape is evolving at a faster rate due to the rapid pace of technological changes and the breaking down of boundaries between professional work and personal lives. Hence, businesses today have to be mindful of the rising and ever-changing online threats and risks.

    "It is no longer a matter of if the boundaries will be breached, but when. This is not meant to create fear but rather to ensure that organisations are prioritising information protection," said Adrian Jones, executive vice-president for worldwide sales at US-based software security firm, Symantec.
