The cybersecurity landscape is endlessly dynamic with new threats and technologies emerging unexpectedly and often. Simply updating cybersecurity technology and expecting it to keep up with this highly dynamic world is a mistake that can result in significant costs and damages. The average cost of a data breach across industries in 2023 was $4.45 million, and cybercrime is predicted to cost the world an annual total of $8 trillion by the end of 2023. The costs of breaches exceed one-time losses, impacting reputation and customer relationships in the long term. Without a cybersecurity strategy that is constantly evolving to keep up with current and upcoming threats, these costs and damages to reputation and customer relationships add up quickly, which underscores the critical need for proactive and adaptive security.
