Why it’s important
The event highlighted the urgent need for businesses to address cybersecurity. Cybercrime continues to rise, making data protection crucial. But is simply educating employees enough to stop increasingly sophisticated cyber threats?
Emerging technologies, like AI and cloud services, offer great benefits. However, they also bring new security challenges. As businesses adopt these technologies, they must also address the risks they create. Are current strategies enough to keep businesses secure, or do they need to evolve faster to match emerging threats?
