Research indicates a rising trend in cyber risks, with over 30,000 vulnerabilities disclosed last year, a 17% increase from previous figures. In 2024, data breaches reached the second highest level on record, with 3,158 compromises exposing the data of over 1.3 billion people worldwide. Keeping informed about emerging cybersecurity trends is crucial for organizations to minimizerisk exposure and ensure lasting cybersecurity success
But it’s not all bad news. Even as cyber risks become more complex and dangerous, there are opportunities for businesses to thrive. With effective cybersecurity practices, organizations can successfully navigate the digital age’s challenges and leverage cybersecurity as a growth driver.
