The impact of emerging cyberrisks for businesses

Listen Later

Cybersecurity is a never-ending #issue, but its pace has accelerated with the shift to #remote work during the #pandemic and it has escalated since the start of the #war in #Ukraine. Today, #cyberhacking is a multibillion-dollar enterprise and #attackers use more & more cutting-edge & sophisticated tools, such as artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Besides, a common mistake is to believe that cybersecurity is a matter of #technology and #security. Regarding a study by BCG, 77% of #breaches are the result of an organizational / process or human #failure and only 23% by insufficient security technology. Viewing that the threat is increasing, no company or #government is immune. Today’s most elaborated & effective #cybercontrols will soon be obsolete. This is why companies need to ensure the #resilience of their technology and reinforce their #defenses to be proactive to emerging threats.

In this context, Digitalcity.brussels interviewed Phédra Clouner - Deputy Director of the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium - to get her thoughtful #insights on the following points:

  • How should companies prepare themselves for the growing threat of cyber security breaches? Have you seen a change in the way companies are addressing the issue?
  • What factors are driving the increase in cyber-attacks?
  • Are there any cybersecurity investments that you think are being misused by businesses?
  • If I am in a C-Level / leadership position concerned about cybersecurity, how do I know if my business is enough  prepared to stay ahead of cyber attackers?
  • What will be the major cybersecurity threats in the coming years?
  • Do you think there is a gap between the pace of change in cyber threats and regulations, which means we should have a more proactive response to this issue?
  • Many organizations do not have enough cybersecurity talent, knowledge and/or expertise, and this shortage is increasing. How can we reduce this gap?

    • Listen to our episode where we examine the expanding cybersecurity threat and how we can mitigate and manage the digital risk by implementing forward-thinking defensive solutions.
