Train to strengthen your organization's cybersecurity posture

Train to strengthen your organization's cybersecurity posture

Madrid, February 2025

Today, cybersecurity is everyone's job. While specialized engineers are vital, the best defense is from the bottom up and from start to finish.

You’re not imagining it: The number of major cybersecurity incidents is on the rise. And according to Forbes Advisor Cybersecurity Stats: Facts And Figures You Should Know, “The repercussions of cyberattacks are far-reaching and costly. A data breach costs $4.88 million on average in 2024. In 2023, compromised business emails accounted for more than $2.9 billion in losses. These alarming numbers emphasize the danger of cyber vulnerabilities and highlight the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals.”

Even small and mid-sized organizations can inadvertently provide cybercriminals with an avenue to reach larger targets, which means every organization needs to empower its teams to protect against ransomware, data breaches, and other security incidents.
