Introduction
In today’s digital era, every business—whether small or large—relies on online platforms, cloud systems, and software solutions. While digital transformation brings speed and efficiency, it also increases exposure to cyber threats.
Cyber attacks are no longer limited to data theft. They can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, legal complications, and operational downtime. That’s why Cyber Security is no longer optional—it is a critical requirement for every modern business.
