Cybercrime is surging: in 2023, there were more than 2,365 successful cyberattacks (impacting some 343,338,964 victims), including a 72% increase in data breaches, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s annual report. The US Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Tech Anne Neuberger predicted the annual average cost of cybercrime will reach $23 trillion in 2027, driving the need for US companies to upgrade their cyber defenses. With more than 1.24 million cybersecurity professionals employed in April 2024, there’s already been an increase of 55% since 2010 and staffing is still deemed well short of need.
With IBM putting the average 2024 cost of a data breach at $4.88 million–each!–you need a strong team of qualified cybersecurity engineers and experts making sure hackers get denied every time they attempt an attack. That team has to be experienced, knowledgeable, and proactive.
