A typical mid-cap Private Equity fund may be tracking up to 100 potential acquisition targets at any one time. Monitoring these companies early provides visibility of long-term cyber security trends and helps identify critical risks that could affect a transaction (e.g. a database compromise) or undermine value (e.g. intellectual property loss).
