Anything Is Hackable: Consumers Must Not

Be Caught Out

In an age driven by data, cyber-related crimes are on the rise. Business leaders must invest in
new strategies designed to keep their customers and their personal data safe from illicit actors.

By Bryan Seely, Keynote Speaker and Cybersecurity Expert

Our world is driven by data. Vulnerabilities are ready to be exploited by bad actors everywhere we look.
Hacks targeting world governments are frequently reported and subsequently covered in global media,
but what worries me is the growing amount of innocent consumers being affected by data breaches every
day. Massive corporations are failing to adapt quickly enough to the changing landscape.

The global big data analytics market was valued at $272bn in 2022 and is expected to reach close to
$750bn by the end of the decade. A growing industry will always be met with an increase in rogue actors
looking to profit from it illegally, and consumers must be vigilant.
