Why a Password Manager is Essential to Your 2024 Cybersecurity Budget
Cybersecurity considerations for 2024 and beyond
Technology moves quickly. What worked a few years ago—or even sometimes a few months ago—probably won’t cut it for the future.
By 2026, 45% of all enterprise IT spending will be on public cloud services, and with offsite technology comes additional levels of risk. And it’s not only your tech that needs to be covered. Cybersecurity threats are often a human problem, not just a technology problem, so a human-centric solution is key to mitigating these mounting risks.
With budget constraints and a whole lot of tools to choose from, how do you know which ones to prioritize? This guide will help you better understand the importance of making space for cybersecurity in your IT budget and why a password manager is a “must-have” rather than a “nice-to-have” in today’s working world.
