The world’s reliance on interconnected digital infrastructure continues to deepen, even as the threats facing it grow in sophistication and scope.
2024 was another banner year for cybercriminals—and not in a good way for the rest of us. From massive credential leaks to supply chain compromises, the sheer scope and creativity of this year’s data breaches were enough to keep even the most seasoned security teams awake at night.
