How we write

In this post, we will explore the critical statistics surrounding cybersecurity in the logging industry. With wireless network vulnerabilities accounting for 25% of security incidents and 70% of companies reporting cyberattacks in the past year, the industry faces significant threats. However, investing in cybersecurity awareness training can reduce incidents by 30%, yet only 45% of firms have a dedicated cybersecurity team. From the prevalence of phishing attacks to the implementation of AI in cybersecurity, these statistics shed light on the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in the logging sector.
