The rising threat of cybercrimes has become a pressing concern for organisations and governments worldwide. With the frequency and severity of cyberattacks on the rise, there is an undeniable need for robust cybersecurity strategies to shield sensitive data and ensure seamless business operations.

Cybersecurity breaches can have multiple repercussions. Cybercriminals can infiltrate sensitive information, such as financial records and personal data, which can then be misused or illicitly exchanged on hidden online platforms. Furthermore, such incidents can cause significant financial losses, legal penalties, and breaches of privacy regulations. In today's closely connected global environment, a single data breach can affect not only the organisation involved but also its customers and business associates.

According to the 'State of Application Security Report' by Indusface, over 500 million cyberattacks were reported in India during the first quarter of 2023. Such attacks impact not only financial and reputational aspects but also pose potential threats to national security. As the frequency of cyberattacks continues to surge, the importance of technology solutions that offer both strong security and resilience must not be overlooked.
