Introduction: The Rising Tide of Cyber Threats

In today's interconnected world, businesses face an ever-expanding array of cyber threats. With attacks occurring every 11 seconds and costing an average of $13M each, the stakes have never been higher. From disrupting operations to damaging reputations and incurring legal liabilities, the consequences of a cyber attack can be devastating. In this landscape, cybersecurity awareness is not just crucial—it's imperative.
