These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The number of companies using AI and attacks exploiting AI is increasing, while vulnerabilities also arise as systems are updated and specifications change. At the same time, penetration testing is generally limited to about once a year, and there is a shortage of cybersecurity professionals.
