Cyber risk is also rising across Houston industries. According to <a class=\"text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800 underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsecuretech.com\/what-is-cyber-vandalism\/\" target=\"_blank\">CloudSecureTech<\/a>, hackers strike every 39 seconds, and building an in-house security team continues to be both challenging and expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Houston businesses also deal with vendor sprawl, slow issue resolution, and limited visibility across complex environments. Over time, these challenges can drive up costs, increase downtime, and make it harder to innovate.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing these issues requires more than additional tools.
