Cybersecurity Is Also A Question Of Governance

While until quite recently the security of information technology infrastructures was dealt with by a corporate IT team, today every organization knows that cyber threats constitute a major risk that senior management must monitor closely.

Cybersecurity issues go beyond the realm of technology. They now impact the way enterprises operate, make decisions, plan for the future and shape their strategic vision. It must be borne in mind that threats of this nature are legion, be they from organized crime to activist movements, or are coming from corporate insiders, or outside hackers acting alone or working in groups, often for financial gain but sometimes also without any particular motivation other than being disruptive. These individuals are often acting outside the territorial jurisdiction of the targeted enterprise.
