The impact of cyber-attacks on businesses can be devastating, leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. A successful attack may result in stolen sensitive data, including customer information and intellectual property, that can be leveraged for extortion or sold on the dark web. Additionally, businesses may face legal and regulatory consequences if they fail to protect personal data adequately. Organizations often need to invest heavily in cybersecurity measures to mitigate risks, restore operations, and maintain customer trust following a breach.
