With almost all aspects of work and life becoming digital and online, cybersecurity has become a big concern. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.

You don't have to be an expert in business or Technology to realize the importance of cyber security. Any organization working with digital data must now be built with cybersecurity as a core component. Driven by the increasing awareness of data risks and threats, the global Cybersecurity market has witnessed robust growth over the last few years with revenue increasing from US$83 billion in 2016 to US$139 in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 10.8%

Maintaining cybersecurity in a constantly evolving threat landscape is a challenge for all organizations. Traditional reactive approaches, in which resources were put toward protecting systems against the most significant known threats, while lesser-known threats were undefended, are no longer a sufficient tactic. To keep up with changing security risks, a more proactive and adaptive approach is necessary.
