You read that right, Niall Ashley has done the unthinkable and made a Frankenstein’s monster:
This presentation is a fusion of Cybersecurity Principles, with the game that needs no introduction: Pokémon.
According to IBM’s annual “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023”, conducted in collaboration with the Ponemon Institute (that’s the real name, not a failed pun), the global average cost of a data breach in 2023 was USD 4.45 million, and the prevalence of data breaches, along with their associated cost, continues to rise year-by-year.
So what can you do to mitigate the risks and to stay vigilant when Hackers attempt a breach? Attend this session to find out!
There is currently no attachment for Cybersecurity & Pokémon? Surely not...
