According to a 2022 report, a cyber-attack occurs somewhere in the world every 39 seconds!

Imagine you just completed your innovative design for a new, exciting product … you’re so close to your idea becoming a reality and suddenly a pop-up appears on your computer notifying you that someone has locked your computer and they are asking for $20,000 to unlock it. This is the type of cyber-attack people are exposed to every day simply by having sensitive work stored on their computers or in the cloud.
