Happy Holidays! The holiday season has begun! This month is packed with the festive spirit in all cultures and is a time of year when you head home or host guests, a rare occasion for the kind of togetherness that can drive you crazy, fill you with love, or both. Do something different this season: Fly with your loved ones. Participate in the numerous events held in your locations that commemorate your holiday and indulge in the festive spirit. As the year ends, we would like to express our gratitude for your continued trust and loyalty to DotConnectAfrica Group!  During International Cybersecurity awareness month, DCA Group was excited to join the world by holding a virtual web forum that addressed the cybersecurity issues affecting most organizations. According to Statista.com, during the third quarter of 2022, approximately 15 million data records were exposed worldwide through data breaches. This figure had increased by 37 percent compared to the previous quarter. Since the first quarter of 2020, the highest number of exposed data records were detected in the fourth quarter of 2020, nearly 125 million data sets. When Facebook joined metaverse everyone was excited by the new technology, and the tech industry couldn't wait to see the result. Due to increased cybersecurity risks, experts could not fail to question the security measures implemented on metaverse. Late November, Kaspersky made a report confirming that cybercriminals will flock to the metaverse next year to prey on unsuspecting virtual world participants.

I imagine that this year, the desire to reflect is stronger than ever. In the face of change and challenge, I encourage you to find the passionate commitment to see opportunities where others see roadblocks. To be unafraid of trying new things and getting uncomfortable. Thank you for your partnership and support over the past year! On behalf of the DotConnectAfrica family, I wish you a warm, joyous, and inspired holiday season and a turn of the new year. See you all in 2023! With Gratitude. Be well and stay safe.
