Visium Technologies Expects To Augment And Complement Existing Cybersecurity Solutions

It is undeniable that the world is in the digital age — a period where information can be accessed via computing technology.

Technology is moving at a rapid pace, and people are eager to embrace it. In 2021 the number of smartphone users exceeded 6 billion. More than 5 billion people use the internet and 4.65 billion are on social media. All these categories have grown by more than 10% since 2018 and are expected to continue rising in the years to come.

While more devices are connected to the internet and the majority of financial services are managed online, there are risks associated with having personal and financial information accessible to hackers. According to a report by Identity Theft Resource, there were 1,862 data breaches in 2021, surpassing the previous record of 1,506 of 2017. Data breaches jumped 68% last year to reach a record high. Data exfiltration and ransomware attacks continue to be a growing challenge for security analysts.

Cybercrime is arguably one of the major threats to every company and organization in the world, and according to  Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A) Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, cyber attacks are mankind’s No. 1 common problem.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has likely reinforced the pressing need to strengthen cyber defense both within organizations and at a national level. Some days ago, a group of Russian hackers calling itself Killnet claimed responsibility for targeted attacks on several German authorities and ministries, including Germany’s cybercrime agency the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).
