Cyberattacks are continually on the rise, as increasingly sophisticated hackers and scammers find new ways to exploit your business's defenses seemingly every day. 

Consider the following data:

  • The cost of data breaches will rise from $3 trillion each year to more than $5 trillion in 2024, according to the "State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2021" report from Accenture.
  • The "Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2022" notes that a single attack-be it a data breach, malware, ransomware, or DDoS attack-cost companies in the U.S. a median of $18,000 in 2022, up from $10,000 in 2021, with 47% of all U.S. business suffering a cyber-attack in some way. 
  • According to Accenture, though 43% of attacks are aimed at SMBs, only 14% of these businesses are prepared to defend themselves.

You Can Disrupt Your Business Disruptors

The best offense is a good defense and that's what this interactive session is all about. The goal of this event is to help you build stronger barriers to any security breach. We can't do it by speaking in generalities. 

As opposed to a general cybersecurity discussion, this interactive event features Tabletop Exercises designed to workshop real-world security scenarios and challenges to help you identify critical gaps and potential points of exploitation in your businesses' security platform, with a focus on both system and operational recovery and continuity.

The overall goal of Disrupt Your Business Disruptors is to provide insights that work to help you optimize your cybersecurity and protect your business against ever-increasing threats.
