Cyber threats aren’t hypothetical anymore. They’re real, and they’re impacting businesses across all industries.
Ransomware attacks are on the rise, with organizations worldwide detecting nearly half a billion attacks in 2022. These attacks can cause significant financial losses and operational disruptions, especially in critical sectors like healthcare and automotive.
Your credentials aren’t foolproof either. Malware can compromise them, bypassing even multi-factor authentication. Hundreds of organizations have fallen victim to such attacks, exposing sensitive data.
Third-party vendors pose another risk. A breach in your supply chain can expose your company’s data, potentially affecting millions of customers.
Don’t overlook internal threats. Human error and social engineering contribute to 74% of data breaches. Email scams and phishing remain highly effective tactics.
The economic impact of cybercrime is staggering. Ransomware alone is becoming increasingly costly, with average demands rising from $1.73 million in 2023 to $2.73 million in 2024.
It’s not about if you’re vulnerable, but how prepared you are. Are your security protocols, identity and access management systems, and third-party defenses robust enough?
