Data breaches expose personal information of 446 million people annually, highlighting the global need for stronger cybersecurity, especially in regions like Asia-Pacific. The rise of digital processes has exacerbated cybercrime, with cannabis businesses presenting unique challenges and opportunities. While the sector remains in its early stages of technological adoption, companies often lack basic compliance measures, making them vulnerable to ransomware and phishing attacks. Organizations like 420 Cyber address these gaps, offering tailored solutions to bolster security. However, frequent breaches threaten customer trust and proprietary data, underscoring the importance of addressing vulnerabilities, particularly in POS systems, to ensure growth and resilience in the cannabis industry.
