The employee quickly led the way, and they hurried through the corridors of the Next Gen Innovations office toward the IT department. As they entered the room, heightened activity filled the air, with everyone focused entirely on countering the cyber attack.
Aria approached the lead IT specialist, who was monitoring the situation on multiple screens.
"Give me a status update," Aria asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the growing concern.
