❗With global cybercrime damages projected to hit $10.5 trillion by 2025 🤯
❗Understaffed security teams are amplifying this crisis. SMBs with fewer than 100 employees are 60% more likely to suffer a cyberattack, and the average data breach costs them $2.5 million…
Last week, I had the honour of joining industry leaders at the UK Cyber Security Council to tackle this challenge head-on. 🤝
✨ Here are some 🔑 highlights and advocates to follow:
1️⃣ Inclusivity Beyond Disabilities: Holly Foxcroft advocates for accommodations that embrace every ability. 💪#neurodiversity

6️⃣ Quality Over Quantity: Prioritise #quality in hiring for impactful results—retain and upskill talent that will build a secure, ethical and safe digital future. 💼
