We live in a world of apps. They have become so pervasive in our daily experience that we don’t even think about it anymore: an app wakes us in the morning, and another app reports the quality of our sleep; we use apps to move around town, book restaurants and movies, track our weight and physical activity, meet friends, stream music and keep up with the news.

As the world’s markets rapidly evolve into complex hybrids of physical and digital assets, cyber security is increasingly critical as a stabilizing force. It is no longer an esoteric art practiced mainly by rival intelligence agencies and giant corporations — it has become a basic necessity of everyday life for any business.
