A
s an online company that
manages buyers and sell-
ers in global, complex sup-
ply chains, OMX (theomx.
com) has made cybersecuri-
ty a top priority since the very beginning.
After all, we deal with confidential infor-
mation from private companies and classi-
fied information from the government on
a daily basis.
These last couple of years have seen
the rise of cybersecurity from all angles–
criminals have become smarter and more
daring when it comes to cyberattacks on
both individuals and corporations, as has
cyberactivity from state-sponsored actors
and state agencies. In addition, all of the
great technologies that we celebrate, such
as Artificial Intelligence, will be leveraged
and used to scale in cyber-attacks.
