IT’s growth can be broadly categorized into three pillars - Hardware, Networking, and Databases.

• Hardware: In the early stages, businesses heavily relied on hardware like computers, servers, and storage devices. These were susceptible to physical damages, malfunctions, and wear and tear, requiring regular maintenance and replacements.
• Networking: As technology advanced, businesses started connecting their hardware to form networks. In essence, Networking is where two computers/devices can talk to each other and share information and resources seamlessly.
• Databases: Once that information was shared between devices, there had to be a way to store that information. The advent of databases allowed businesses to store, manage, and analyze vast amounts of data efficiently.

These 3 pillars were supposed to make life and doing business much easier, However, they also exposed businesses to new threats. Unauthorized users could gain access to these networks, disrupt their functioning, or steal valuable data. Databases became lucrative targets for cybercriminals seeking to steal or manipulate data.
