The risk of cyberattack is constantly changing due to ongoing business transformations.
I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief that we made it to the end of 2021. From a cybersecurity perspective, this year was a doozy. We had to deal with one cyber incident after another, across an expanding digital attack surface that, thanks to accelerated cloud migrations, IoT adoption and desktop digitalization, grew at a pace that served only to exacerbate the complexity of responding. With Apache log4j rounding out the year with a festive bang! Unfortunately, the risk of cyberattack is constantly changing due to ongoing business transformations, so there doesn’t appear to be any slowdown on the near horizon. Now the obvious question is, what more can be done to gain a greater degree of control over this situation? In 2022, the most critical investment of time and effort would be to adopt a proactive cybersecurity strategy focused on understanding the most credible threats to your business, and to develop preparedness and sustainable cyber resilience for your organization. This strategy is predicated on having visibility, both into the most relevant cyber risks and into how your business is exposed to those risks while it transforms.
