Cyberattacks are growing more costly and complex. According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach now costs $4.45 million, with nearly 80% linked to unidentified or poorly managed risks. Firewalls and antivirus tools alone can’t protect organizations from today’s evolving threat landscape. What’s needed is a proactive, strategic approach to cyber risk management.
