Report Overview

Security leaders are facing increasing pressure as the risks to sensitive data continue to rise. Ransomware attacks are becoming more targeted, and the deployment of AI models often lacks proper oversight. Additionally, vulnerabilities are emerging from third-party vendors and exposed APIs.
