What causes it
Understanding the root causes of cyber threats is crucial for your business to develop an effective defence strategy. Threats arise from multiple sources, such as:
Cybercriminals

By identifying these causes, organizations can establish a comprehensive cybersecurity plan that minimizes risks and safeguards their digital assets.

To minimize these risks, organizations should adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity, regularly assess their security posture, and promptly address threats to protect their digital assets and maintain business continuity.
