Bridging the Digital Divide with Inclusive Security Solutions

Although global internet connectivity continues to expand, 2.6 billion people worldwide still lack access to the digital environment. This figure comes from a study by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency that reports 67% of the world’s population, approximately 5.4 billion people, is now online. The digital divide is not just a technological issue; it represents a form of poverty and social exclusion, limiting access to essential services, job opportunities, and resources that drive economic growth.
