Building Cyber Resilience
Fortinet News, Tuesday, September 24th, 2024
Cybersecurity is no longer just the domain of an organization's IT team. It is now a top agenda item for all C-suites and boards of directors.
In a January 2024 report, the World Economic Forum ranks cybersecurity threats ('cyber insecurity') in the top 10 risks that threaten the world over the next decade-along with climate change, biodiversity loss, natural resource shortages, economic and social inequality, technological disruptions, geopolitical risks, misinformation and disinformation, extreme weather events, and public health crises.
Cybersecurity threats and cyber warfare are now part of nearly everyone's daily life. Governments worldwide are responding with new cyber regulations, like GDPR, NIS, and NIS2, and holding those in leadership roles responsible for their organization's cybersecurity. Because executives can now be found liable, boardroom discussions are frequently around the topic of resiliency and how the organization should adapt and learn from cybersecurity incidents.
