The Importance of Cyber Security for Modern Day Society

 

Over the years, the term Cyber Security has gained much importance and become a common part of each one’s life who is associated with a computer or a smart phone device. When people submit their data online, it becomes vulnerable to cyber-attacks or cyber-crimes. The vast majority of vulnerabilities and attack vectors are due to escalated privilege attacks. Loss of data, DDOS, the man in the middle, clear text password violations are now better understood, but are still a major risk to organisations globally.

​​

Cybersecurity should be a constant item on the agendas of CEOs and the boards.

Cybersecurity is now a business mission critical imperative traversing the entire organisational landscape

 

Management must engage in an ongoing dialogue to ensure their Cybersecurity Strategy continually evolves. KEY Questions organisations should be asking-

• Who is responsible for developing and maintaining our cross-functional approach to Cybersecurity?  To what extent are business leaders (as opposed to IT or risk executives) owning this issue?

• Which information assets are most critical and what is the “value at stake” in the event of a breach?  What promises—implicit or explicit—have we made to our customers and partners to protect their information?

• What roles do Cybersecurity and trust play in our customer value proposition?  And, how do we take steps to keep data secure and support the end-to-end Customer Experience?

Most large companies have significantly strengthened their Cybersecurity capabilities.  Formal processes have been implemented to identify and prioritize Cybersecurity risks and hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested to mitigate these risks. Despite this, Cybersecurity is a bigger issue now than ever. 

 

The BI Group have identified 4 trends contributing to the exacerbation of Cybersecurity

  1. Value continues to migrate online.  And digital data have become more pervasive.

• Why are companies experiencing more online attacks per hour than they did just a few years ago?  Because online is where the money is at.  More online transactions create bigger incentives for cybercriminals.

• Furthermore, companies looking to mine data create valuable intellectual property that is an attractive target (e.g. for corporate espionage).

​​

  2. Corporations are expected to be more “open” than ever before.

• Employees are demanding access to corporate networks through the same mobile devices they use in their personal lives.  While mobile devices increase connectivity, they also present new types of security threats.  If one device is hacked, this creates an entry point into the entire corporate network

 

  3.Supply chains are increasingly interconnected.

• To optimize supply chains and get more connected with customers, companies are encouraging both suppliers and customers to join their networks.  This makes “walling” of a company’s technology very difficult.  Security is now at the mercy of the security protocols and policies of our partners and customers.  The whole network, in fact, is at risk from the weakest link

​​

  4. Cybercriminals are becoming sophisticated.

• Professional cybercrime organizations, political “hacktivists,” and state-sponsored intelligence groups have become more technologically advanced, in many cases outpacing the skills and resources of corporate security teams.  Hackers even provide “cybercrime-as-a-service,” receiving payment for each end user device they infect with malware.  Attacks have become more complex and more targeted.
