May 24 – Cybersecurity Unveiled – Why are we becoming more vulnerable and not more secure?

Today’s rapid development of the digital landscape underlines the need to have the capacity to manage cyber security in companies and organizations. It is crucial to adapt and strengthen defenses against a range of cyber threats. As our dependence on technology deepens, cybersecurity leaders must navigate a complex and ever-changing environment where cyberattacks can range from sophisticated state-sponsored intrusions to opportunistic malware.
