Top Threats for Businesses
Ransomware
Malware that encrypts corporate data and demands a ransom to unlock it. It can paralyze your entire operations for days or weeks. It is the most widespread and damaging threat for businesses.
Phishing and Social Engineering
Fraudulent emails that mimic legitimate communications to steal credentials, banking information, or install malware. 91% of attacks begin with a phishing email.
Data Breach
Unauthorized access to personal, financial, or proprietary data. Beyond the financial damage, it triggers mandatory notification to the Data Protection Authority and reputational risks.
Supply Chain Attacks
Compromising suppliers or partners to indirectly target the intended organization. A vulnerable supplier can become the entry point for an attack on your organization.
