In an era where digital transformation drives industries, economies, and societies, discussions around Cyber and Data Protection have never been more critical. Recent incidents, such as the growing prevalence of ransomware attacks, data breaches, and the misuse of personal information on social media platforms, underscore the vulnerabilities inherent in our increasingly interconnected world.
