How does digital risk protection differ from traditional cybersecurity?

Digital risk protection differs from traditional cybersecurity approaches by focusing on monitoring and protecting an organization’s digital footprint beyond its internal network. Traditional cybersecurity mainly involves defending internal systems and data from external threats. Digital risk protection extends this scope to encompass a company’s presence on the internet, including social media, the deep web, and other online channels. It provides proactive monitoring of threats, such as data breaches, brand impersonation, and credential leaks, and helps organizations mitigate risks that may arise from these external sources.
