The year 2024 witnessed a surge in cyber threats, exposing critical vulnerabilities across industries.
Ransomware attacks crippled healthcare, energy, and transportation sectors, while many organizations struggled with inadequate incident response plans. AI-powered threats, including sophisticated malware and phishing schemes, outpaced traditional defenses, and insecure IoT networks became prime targets for botnet attacks and data breaches.
Human errors, insider threats, and cloud misconfigurations further amplified risks, compounded by legislative gaps and rising cyber insurance costs.
