The digitization of business processes has generated considerable benefits for companies and government agencies—but has also created a new category of cyber risk.
Today, most organizations—both public and private—have digitized much of their supply chains. This ongoing digitization continues to generate innovations in the way in which business is conducted. In fact Accenture High Performance Business research concludes that high-performance businesses are characterized by the way in which they use IT to drive innovation through the organization as a whole.
On the flipside, however, public and private-sector organizations are now increasingly vulnerable to attack by hackers or competitors, electronic fraud, sabotage or the simple loss of data. The threat is intensified as enterprises become increasingly virtual, with IT infrastructure and services to enable business processes increasingly being delivered from beyond the corporate firewall.
As an organization’s ability to achieve high performance in large measure depends on its mastery of IT, it follows that protecting its digital assets is central to its ability to succeed. Accenture advocates a proactive approach to the pressing challenge of securing an organization’s IT infrastructure, the vital processes it enables and the data it stores.
