The Cybersecurity threat to organizations is a growing problem with potentially far reaching and disastrous consequences.
Many well-run and highly respected organizations have been caught out by cybersecurity attacks and have as a result suffered significant financial impacts as well as major reputational and brand damage.
Addressing these mounting threats from cyber-attacks, data breaches and ransomware attacks involves much more than just implementing the latest technological defences. In fact, as many as 95% of cyber incidents are human enabled. However, to assume that staff training and education is the answer Is also simplistic.
Addressing this threat and its potential consequences needs organizations to embed cybersecurity at the heart of their business architecture with implications for business processes, people, culture, operations, locations, IT, and management information systems. It also needs specialists in the various cybersecurity related disciples to be specifically organized and managed, with representation at the highest level.
