Abstract
The concept of cyber-security increases in priority among companies and organisations of all sizes or business sectors. As cyber-attacks are continuously developing, security officers struggle to sustain an acceptable control over the entity's systems, data and underlying infrastructure, being restricted by time, budget and resources.
