Why should you identify potential cyber security threats and vulnerabilities in your network?

Identifying cyber threats and vulnerabilities is crucial to safeguarding your network. According to the DCMS Cyber security breaches survey 2023, nearly a third (32%) of businesses and a quarter (24%) of charities reported experience of some kind of cyber security breach or cyber attack in the last 12 months.
