This can be seen in the data gathered by our laboratory, PandaLabs, in 2019. They include the theft of money, the interruption of operations, the risks associated with fake news, and identity theft, as well as the loss of privacy both for individuals and companies. These risks have implications at a global level in terms of economy and national security.

On the other hand, the the incorporation of digital technologies into an increasing number of aspects of daily life has led to the appearance of instability and risks. While global risks are not comparable, since definitions and emerging issues change over the years, cyberattacks, along with environmental risks, have consolidated their position on both the impact and probability rankings since they first appeared on the list in 2012.

For proof of this, we need look no further than the latest edition of the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report: cyberattacks are ranked seventh in terms of probability and eighth in terms of impact. They can therefore not be ignored in the risk operations of any country. Cyberattacks are becoming both more frequent and more sophisticated they target both private users and public and private organizations and institutions.
