Cyber-attacks/cybercrime are a multi-billion or even trillion-dollar global problem for companies and growing. It affects large and small, public and private companies alike. Reported victim losses in the U.S. alone exceeded $16.6B in 2024, up 33% from 2023, based on the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
