Readers who are technically proficient and enthusiastic about Information Technology due to professional bindings or personal interests must be aware of the growing cyber security challenges. Across the globe, the quantum of the challenge is rising since the dependence on Cloud and Networks has increased manifolds in the past three years. The Covid 19 Pandemic has also been a significant reason for the increased complexities within the Cybersecurity matrix. Research and market intelligence indicates that IoT Cyber Attacks are expected to double by 2025. That sounds alarming from all aspects. The World Economic Forum's 2020 Global Risk Report has been stating that the rate of threat detection in the United States is low at .01 percent. It implies that most of the threats go unreported and unattended, putting IT systems at high risk and vulnerability. In recent times, statisticians have noted that the typical burden of one ransomware attack is roughly $1.85 million.
Cyber attacks take place on all sizes of businesses. However, it is to be noted that more than 41% of the episodes take place in Small and Medium Scale enterprises. Only a handful of such enterprises have the capacity and competence to safeguard themselves from such threats. Hence, it can be assumed that medium and small-level industries need to enhance their cyber protection capabilities to stay competitive.
