Basically, hackers do not hack. They infiltrate systems. They explore vulnerabilities. They examine data flows, searching for weaknesses to exploit. And then they log in. Almost, we could romanticize them. A hopeless romantic who is reading Dostoievski for lunch would surely do that. But regardless, that is light-years away from the objective of our article. To begin, we would like to highlight the alarming prevalence of data breaches, which persist despite the relentless advancements in technology, advancements that one might assume would mitigate such threats. In 2024 alone, over 5.5 billion records were compromised globally.

Cyber attacks are no longer a question of if but when. As cybercriminal tactics evolve at pace, organisations face an ever-growing risk from ransomware, data breaches, and operational disruption. The financial, regulatory, and reputational consequences of these incidents can be severe - particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may underestimate their exposure.
