Protecting companies is the priority of digiVolution, the Swiss foundation dedicated to digital mutation and cybersecurity
The costs generated by cybercrime worldwide are estimated at 8 trillion US dollars for 2023 and are expected to exceed 13 trillion in the next five years. Although colossal, these amounts represent only a fraction of the dangers that the world could face in the years to come. Artificially created shortages in energy or food, for example, could reveal the vulnerability of many states and have an immense impact on their security. Their sovereignty itself could be called into question by a (…)
