INSIGHT INTO SECURITY RISKS INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANT 
Digital threats, including cybercrime, hacks, phishing, DDoS attacks, malware, and social engineering, are constantly evolving and pose a serious risk to organizations of all sizes. In today's rapidly changing technological landscape, automated systems and infrastructure are becoming increasingly complex, making technology-oriented risks unavoidable. This complexity is further exacerbated by outsourcing, sharing, and collaboration, which can cause changes in the control environment and responsibilities.  

In addition, many businesses assume that they are not a target for digital threats, but this is not the case, as attackers may seek to disrupt operations or extort organizations through ransomware attacks. It is crucial to continuously monitor and develop information security measures to keep up with technological advancements and minimize the damage caused by security breaches.
