“Managing an organisation’s cyber risk has never been more critical,” explained Sean Remnant, Chief Strategy Officer at Ignition Technology. “Attack surfaces have grown exponentially as companies have moved to a remote-first working model.

With SecurityScorecard channel partners now have an additional weapon in their cyber armoury to deliver even more value to their customers.”
