With over 17 billion records breached in 2023, data breaches have reached an all-time high.
Businesses are more vulnerable than ever before due to increased ransomware attacks, third-party hacks, and the increasing sophistication of threat actors. 

Still, many security teams are ill-equipped, particularly given new data from our team shows that 55% of IT security leaders believe modern cybercriminals are more advanced than their internal teams. The perpetrators are raising their game as they adopt and weaponize the new generation of emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technology, while companies continue to slip behind. Security teams require the necessary technology and tools to overcome common obstacles and avoid falling victim to these malicious actors. 

It takes minutes, not days, for an attacker to exploit a vulnerability. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that by 2031, a ransomware assault will occur every two seconds. The most powerful new instrument for fuelling attacks is generative AI (GenAI). 

It enables hackers to find gaps, automate attacks, and even mimic company employees to steal credentials and system access. According
