With the emergence of AI and new powerful technologies mixed with the tumultuous times we live in, the digital landscape has become a complex battleground. This escalation in cyber threats spares no sector or size of organisation, placing the public sector and critical infrastructure in a particularly vulnerable position.

Education and research - a 53% increase in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, with an average of 3,341 attacks per organisation every week
Government/Military - 2,084 attacks per week, reflecting the high stakes involved in state-level cyber espionage and disruption

The dramatic rise in cyber-attacks globally, particularly ransomware incidents, signals an urgent need for robust cyber security frameworks. Organizations must prioritize cyber security, adopting customized strategies to effectively combat the evolving threat landscape. By implementing advanced security measures, fostering a culture of awareness, and preparing for potential incidents, businesses can better defend against the relentless tide of cyber threats. The time to act is now, before the next wave of attacks strikes.
