Criminals are leveraging the connectivity of the Internet to actively engage in corporate espionage and steal intellectual property, engineering designs, customer sensitive data as well as other confidential business and financial information.
When it comes to raising IT and cyber budgets, accounting and finance professionals are increasingly being asked to referee and opine on cybersecurity spending. There is a way to reduce the risk exposure but simply opening the purse strings and increasing the budget is not the solution. For example, a leading international bank, despite spending over $500 million annually on cybersecurity, suffered a major data breach.
“Over-emphasis on technological (as opposed to management, behavioural and cultural) aspects weakens cyber defensive capabilities.”
