Data breaches are costly. The average U.S. cybersecurity breach cost across the public and private sectors is $9.5 million per breach. U.S. government agencies are not exempt from this, despite the government spending substantial sums on cybersecurity. At the federal level, the budget for 2024 is projected at $12.7 billion. The largest allocation is for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with a budget of over $3 billion. The federal government funds the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), which allocates funds to states. The budget for this program was $400 million in 2023. This amount is typically matched by state funding for cybersecurity projects, reflecting the high degree of spending required to allow agencies to stand still from a cybersecurity perspective.
As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud applications, remote workforces and interconnected systems, the complexity and sophistication of cyberthreats have escalated. This dynamic environment requires advanced security measures that go beyond traditional perimeter defenses. As cyberthreats continue to grow in sophistication, the adoption of such cutting-edge security measures will be essential for maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture.

The artificial intelligence and machine learning landscape was profoundly altered by the emergence of generative AI into the mainstream consciousness during 2023. The widespread availability of GenAI models and cloud services has lowered the barriers to individuals and enterprises engaging with AI for various use cases, including generating content, querying data, writing code, preparing data for analysis, documenting data pipelines and using software products more effectively.
