Taking security to the next level with a risk-based approach

The global?impact of cyber incidents and data breaches is rising at alarming rates without any signs of slowing down. This is costly to protect against, can be disastrous for your business survival, and seem almost impossible to prepare for.

Sadly it's worse, hackers are improving their chances of successful attacks?against your business through creative social engineering techniques (examples), which I have personally fallen victim to. Governments are supporting cybercriminals and protecting their business interest, and criminals are proven to be smart business owners by continuously improving with automation?and AI?tooling. Hackers perform an attack every 39 seconds, on average 2,244 times a day, according to a study from the University of Maryland. So it is no wonder a business falls victim to a ransomware attack every 11 seconds based on international estimates.

The global cost of data breaches in 2021 is expected to reach $6 trillion annually. This amount has doubled from $3 trillion back in 2015, according to Upgaurd. Corporate data breaches on average account for $3.88 Million per incident, with every single lost or stolen user record, cost the business $148 per record. The average time to identify and contain a breach is 280 days. (IBM)

In only one year, the cost of cybercrime in Europe has risen six-fold, according to Forrester Consulting and Hiscox. Where on average a tech company will spend approximately 10% of its IT budget on cybersecurity and are still falling victim.??So what is your organisation doing about this?
