because nothing today is really slowing cyber attackers.

We see more and more threats coming;

we see in the current geopolitical landscape that we're living in,

we see more state actor attacks;

we see cyber criminals operating as part of organized crime.

So the big trends in the cybersecurity today

are one, what's being attacked most constantly is individuals and companies.

Not the systems or the infrastructure of the company, but actually the people.

The most common way is send you an email with an embedded link or an attached file

that you either click on the link or open that file

and ultimately you get infected or you give up your credentials, your password.

One of the other really interesting ways that people are being attacked,

again, through email, is where you receive a message.

It looks like it's from your boss or your boss's boss

directing you to do a particular activity: send funds and HR information.

So we do direct research on this, and we found in Q4 of last year,

these kinds of attack increased over 45%.

And the FBI estimates that in 2016, there was over 3 billion in losses.

For companies to have a better cybersecurity posture,

they need better systems, but they also need to educate their people.

All of us can do a better job of defending ourselves,

and, simple things, we all need to be more vigilant when we open an email message.

Sometimes as simple as get up and ask your boss if he actually sent you that message.

One of the common questions today is, "What role does the government play in cybersecurity?"

And at the end of the day what we will likely see is

much closer cooperation between the government and private sector

because we're all fighting the same enemy.
