In today's rapidly changing business environment, companies face many challenges, from cybersecurity threats to natural disasters. Security Magazine recently released its 2023 Security Benchmark Report. The report highlights several points, including the importance of incorporating weather monitoring within Security Operation Centers. The study also found the second top issue and concern for companies is business continuity and resilience. Maintaining operations, especially in severe weather, is critical for organizations to thrive.
