Daily news reports of cyber data incidents serve as a constant reminder of the growing cyber risks that companies face.

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were 781 data breaches reported in 2015 alone, compromising nearly 170 million private records. As these numbers continue to skyrocket, the question for executives and risk managers has become not if you will experience a data breach but when. Response tactics aside, just wrapping your head around the risks and developing a strategy in a changing environment present their own significant challenges.

To make the most informed decisions, you need information. However, the issue isn't findinginformation, but finding the rightinformation and knowing how to use it. Try typing "cyber security" into a Google search. You'll get approximately 16 million search results. According to Google's published trends, the term is searched more than 33,000 times monthly a 100% increase from mid-2014.  With that information comes a lot of questions, but not always clear answers.
