Cybersecurity Leadership

Unlike the majority of supply chain disruptions, cyber-based threats like ransomware can cause sudden and systemic impacts to organisations or the wider ecosystem. They can be prolonged – beyond what is contemplated in most business continuity plans. These characteristics set them apart from traditional disruptions such as labour and raw material shortages, or power outages.

Direct losses from operational-risk failures are mounting, and in today’s volatile economic environment, consequent losses in share price are many times greater.

There is a need for organisations to view disaster recovery in the context of the overall viability of the business—including cyberattack prevention, detection, and response.

The loss of data from a cyberattack impacts operational continuity, eliminating the ability to serve customers.

When a disaster strikes, is your organization ready? And more specifically, is your cyber security strategy prepared for adapting to a modified work environment?

Chief information security officers must balance two strategic priorities, protecting the organization while enabling business continuity, to safeguard their institutions amid the pandemic.

When built on a solid architectural foundation, cyber resilience can dependably manage unanticipated ransomware hazards and other threats to recoverability.

Resilience means understanding the criticality of a business process, the capability of the underlying technology, the business impact if the technology fails, and the organization’s risk tolerance.

With cooperation from all sides, the next frontier of data utilization won’t be out of reach.

The recent cyber attack on a Florida water treatment plant was the latest headline-making reminder for business leaders about the dangers of assuming their companies are immune from an increasingly common type of type of crisis—cyber attacks.

Hackers are targeting our increased dependence on digital tools.
