Security

Wherever your business goes, whoever it works with, you need cybersecurity that covers it all.

Cybersecurity as competitive advantage in a world of uncertainty

The economy is on the minds of business leaders. C-suites recognize survival depends upon the ability to safeguard systems and information. They need to redesign for resilience—mitigate risk, strategically deploy assets and investments and assign accountability.

A key part of rapid digitalization, fueled by the pandemic, is accelerated cloud adoption. Together, digitalization and the Cloud Continuum have redefined not only enterprise boundaries and capabilities but also the attack surface, adding vulnerabilities that are beyond the reach of traditional responses. We cover common security blindspots, from automation to talent shortages and outline two routes to the cloud, each with their own risks and approaches.

Plot your course

Despite greater investment, cybersecurity incidents and impacts are rising. Throwing money at the issue isn't enough—organizations must strategically mobilize the right resources.

Security is about building a trusted environment for customers, employees and partners, and the CEO is ultimately responsible for it. By incorporating cybersecurity into the business strategy, they can shape the attitudes, actions and accountability necessary for trust, especially in times of volatility. Explore the barriers to creating a cyber resilient business and find out what CEOs can do to push through them all.

Learn how to get started

Ransomware and other types of cyber attacks have evolved—so too should your organizational approach to managing them. Ransomware is a threat to the entire business, with impacts downstream, upstream and across customers and stakeholders. From processes to people, cross-enterprise alignment is key to protecting value and ensuring operational continuity. Learn what ransomware attacks look like today and understand the priorities, challenges and steps involved in modernizing your response.

Reorient your approach

The State of Cybersecurity Resilience research explores insights from our annual survey of 4,744 global respondents. The report examines the extent to which organizations prioritize security, how comprehensive their security plans are and how their security investments are performing. It also examines how strength of alignment between cybersecurity strategy and business strategy impacts cyber resilience. We identified four levels of cyber resilience. At the head of the pack is a group of Cyber Champions—organizations that strike a balance, not only excelling at cyber resilience, but also aligning with the business strategy to achieve better business outcomes.
