How do you protect yourself from increasingly sophisticated digital threats?
Today is International Data Protection Day, an annual reminder of the critical role data protection plays in the digital world. Modern life, whether shopping, working, learning or socialising is largely managed online, and a lot of personal information is shared in the process. According to cybersecurity firm SlashNext, the number of credential phishing attacks increased by 703% in the second half of 2024.* This is dangerous because obtaining the credentials can give attackers access to sensitive information, financial data or even company systems, leading to serious data theft, financial loss and security risks. The surge indicates that traditional protection methods are no longer sufficient and that proactive security measures are required.
