In the Cybersecurity Maturity Report 2023, CYE reports which countries and industries have the strongest control, protocols, and defense against cyberattacks and which ones, on the other hand, requires improvement. The report also showcases the most common vulnerabilities, depending on the company’s size, industry, and country.
The CYE’s Cybersecurity Maturity Report is based on data the CYE has been gathering for over two years in 15 countries. They’ve conducted cyber assessments, all of which include a thorough evaluation of each organization and its security practices.
Besides that, the Cybersecurity Maturity report offers examples and recommendations that you and your organization might consider implementing for better cyber posture. This methodology allowed them to obtain accurate information regarding the security status of each organization participating in research, and your organization could use it to make the first step towards better security.

Simply put, burning is a term for sending a specified and pre-determined amount of crypto to a place (digital crypto wallet) from which no one, not even the project founders and developers, could retrieve it.
These wallets have an address – also known as “burn” or “eater” address – but don’t have a seed phrase. And without a seed phrase to unlock access to your funds, the wallet, and the crypto in it, are utterly useless.
Whether it be crypto coins or tokens – once they get sent to the burning address, there’s no coming back. In that case, they’ve effectively been removed from the market – they’re locked into a wallet with no seed phrase, and although they still exist, no one will ever be able to access them.
Now, developers don’t do it “just because.” There are many reasons project founders may choose to burn their own crypto – sometimes burning happens due to stakeholders needing to drive the price up, other times to promote mining balance or curb inflation by bringing more order to the already hectic market.
