Overview

• Today, cyber security is the very heart of every business. In business we have to seize opportunities and manage risks with wisdom.
• Understanding potential threats, their context, readiness to counter, manage them and create a sustainable cybersecurity environment is the order of the day for businesses across the globe.
• In today’s world it would be hard to question that cyber security should not be part of any organization’s enterprise risk management function, and thus, by inference, part of any director’s duty of oversight.
• In the corporate world, there is still much uncertainty on the “what” and “how to do” in order to mitigate risks coming from cyber threats. Typically, some more initiative is taken in larger, international companies, although medium-sized and family-owned businesses are equally subject to the same threats and exposures.
• Even in larger companies, information security initiatives are often not properly sponsored by the highest level of the company.
• It is essential that business leaders take control of allocating resources to deal with cyber security, actively manage governance and decision making over cyber security, and build an informed and knowledgeable organizational culture.

Approach

Effectively managing cyber risk means putting in place the right governance and the right supporting processes, along with the right enabling technology. It helps an organisation protect against cyber risks, defend against and limit the severity of attacks, and ensure its continued survival despite an attack.
