WITH AN EVER-EVOLVING INTERNET AND DIGITAL LANDSCAPE, THE RISK OF BEING THE VICTIM OF A CYBERCRIME HAS NEVER BEEN GREATER

scholarship contest

Victims of cybercrimes are not limited to single individuals.  In fact, 43% of businesses were a victim of some type of security breach in the past 12 months, according to Cyber Security Breaches Survey.

Furthermore, it is estimated that cybercrime will cost an estimated $6 trillion dollars a year by 2021, which is nearly double the estimate taken in 2015.

Cybercrimes are a serious criminal offense and must be taken seriously.
