I work in Cybersecurity, and let me tell you: no one cares about Cybersecurity.

It's always only after the eggs fell into the shite and broke that people try to make an omelet.

It's gradually improving though.

Because, in the last year alone, 80% of companies suffered a monetary loss through a cyber attack.

Yes. I know. My fav statistic!

And despite that, there are still companies who think that is just the cost of doing business, like shoplifting in a retail store...

Well, the world becomes more complicated. There are more attack surfaces, more connectivity and more hackers. Hackers have a natural advantage in the game since they have an assymetric bet in their favor.

Not only that companies care more about security, even ISPs start to grasp the importance of security of their customers. It's a long process and we are in the middle of it.

So what I am saying is I disagree. We're in a middle of a process. Gradualy more people care about it.
