The digitalisation of our society and economy is a fact. The interconnectedness of organisations, individuals and devices creates dependency and risk for everyone involved. In this complex technological environment, securing intellectual property, business information and personal data is of great importance.
Cyber risks
Businesses are increasingly dependent on internal and external information systems, which are connected to one another and use databases from different parties. Internal and external stakeholders expect greater transparency about how cyber risks are managed. Directors must be able to account for their cyber security policy to investors, regulators and internal bodies.
Well prepared
Your organisation must be able to defend itself against attacks by hackers and other malicious actors. Measures against the theft of business information by your own employees, volunteers and interns also prevent many loyalty dilemmas and irreparable mistakes.
Every day, organisations face cyber security incidents, at large and small organisations in every sector. The consequences can be financial, legal or reputational. This attracts the attention of auditors, the privacy regulator and sector-specific regulators. Being able to demonstrate control over cyber risks is becoming ever more important for the trust of customers, employees and regulators.
Investing in technology and behaviour
As a director, you invest in both technology and policy to influence the behaviour of employees. Raising risk awareness is an essential part of minimising cyber risks as far as possible.
