In today’s digital age, cybersecurity is a term everyone knows, but only a few practice effectively. The stark reality is apparent: over 110 million Americans were affected by cyber attacks in 2021, with a staggering cost of $6.2 billion. The situation is equally dire in corporate settings, where a shocking 95% of cyber breaches result from human error.
IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023 reports an all-time high average breach cost of USD 4.45 million. Cybercriminals play a relentless numbers game, skewering thousands and reaping profits while the trend in breaches only slowly improves. Awee is set to disrupt this dynamic with innovative strategies no one else offers.
