Innovation fuels the technology industry, but it comes at a cost.

Certain technology sub-sectors like software companies and infrastructure providers have complex supply chains, making it challenging to ensure the security of all components and services.

The tech industry's relentless pursuit of innovation can sometimes come at the expense of security.

Technology companies such as Telcos, SaaS providers, and hosting companies are prime targets for cyber threats due to their possession of large volumes of sensitive and valuable data.

"The continuous innovation that drives technology forward can be a double-edged sword," said Trustwave CISO Kory Daniels.

To minimize risk exposure while staying ahead of threats, security needs to be embedded at every stage of the technology lifecycle.
