Everyone uses advanced cybersecurity software in today’s connected world. On an individual level, a cyberattack can lead to a wide variety of consequences, from identity theft to extortion attempts and the loss of important data such as family photos. Everyone depends on critical infrastructure such as power plants, hospitals and financial institutions. The protection of these and other organizations is fundamental to the smooth functioning of our society.
All people also benefit from the work of cybersecurity researchers. These researchers include 250 scientists from the Talos team, who are studying new threats and approaches to cyberattacks. They identify vulnerabilities, educate a wider audience about the importance of cybersecurity, and strengthen the protection of open source tools. Their work makes the Internet safer for everyone.
