global tech skill half-lives are ~2.5 years (World Economic Forum, 2023), so SQLI risks losing relevance if it does not reskill for spatial computing and quantum-safe encryption; failing to pivot could commoditize offerings and cut margins - tech services firms saw average EBIT margins drop 150-300 bps when revenues shifted to low-value work (2021-24 industry reports); continuous upskilling budgeted at 3-5% of revenue is mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Storm-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCybersecurity and Data Privacy Risks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a digital infrastructure and data intelligence provider, SQLI faces high risk of sophisticated cyberattacks;
