Think your company is secure? The cyber threat landscape suggests otherwise.

Email remains the top attack vector, with 75% of targeted cyberattacks starting in your inbox. Meanwhile, AI-powered threats are evolving daily, with half of executives expecting GenAI to supercharge phishing and malware attacks this year.

Your vulnerabilities might not even be your own. Third-party partnerships create additional risk exposure, as seen in the manufacturing sector where 29% of published attacks in 2024 came through vendor relationships.

The stakes? Ransomware incidents jumped 18% last year, and the trend continues. Simple misconfigurations still expose thousands of servers, while the average data breach now costs $4.88 million – up 10% from last year.

This isn’t just about technology. It’s about:
• Reputation damage
• Legal consequences
• Customer trust
• Business continuity
