In 2023, 44% of global business ransomware incidents, including ransomware and data leaks, were attributed to cyber-attacks. The increasing sophistication and multi-stage strategies of these attacks, compounded by new malware variants and the rise of AI and ML, present an endless barrage of challenges.

Impact of remote work
The shift to remote work has intensified the need for comprehensive cybersecurity. IT teams must now ensure that remote devices are secured to the same standard as workplace-only devices. According to the 2024 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index, over half of organisations experienced a cybersecurity incident in the past year. Additionally, the Cisco Talos Incident Response (Talos IR) Quarterly Trend Report for 2024 identified Business Email Compromise (BEC) as the top threat, highlighting the importance of robust security measures and employee vigilance.
