Non-compliance with
regulations such as General

could result in hefty 昀椀nes of
up to 4% of annual revenue.
Deloitte estimates that
privacy regulation compliance
spending will grow by 22%

organisations to prioritise

As businesses increasingly
adopt multi-cloud
environments, securing cloud
workloads will be a major
challenge. Gartner estimates
that 95% of new digital
workloads will be cloudnative by 2025. Yet, 99% of
cloud security failures will
be due to miscon昀椀gurations,
underscoring the urgent
need for better cloud
security practices.
Ransomware attacks will

with AI helping to improve
the e昀昀ectiveness of phishing
attempts as well as increasing
the scale, speed of delivery
and reach of ransomware.
Tactics like “double extortion”
where attackers demand
ransom and threaten to
release sensitive data, are
on the rise. Cybersecurity
Ventures forecasts that global
ransomware damages will
exceed $265 billion by 2031,

overall is set to reach $10.5
