Why invest in Cybersecurity?

The digital transformation of society has expanded the threat landscape and is bringing about new challenges that require adapted and innovative responses. Meanwhile, the number of cyberattacks recorded continues to rise, with increasingly sophisticated attacks coming from a wide range of sources.

Data collection and processing are now integral to the day-to-day business of many companies, including some of the world's largest companies by market capitalisation. The consequences of a data breach or security breach have never been so far-reaching; and if a company is found to have poor data protection practices, it could mean the end of that business.
