When reading news and statistics about Cyber
Security incidents, it is easy for executives to become immune to
the information overload. We have all seen the headlines such as
"Billions of dollars in losses" However, how those
incidents may affect your specific organisation is often
unclear.
What is clear, is that Cyber Security incidents can
affect all organisations; from the large hedge fund administrator
to small businesses with few employees. Caribbean nations are not
immune and incidents are happening at a startling
rate.
Cyber Security has become an executive level issue. Gone are the
days when the responsibility lay solely with Information Systems
personnel or on the third party IT firm. Customers, business
partners and investors are asking management tough questions and
seeking comfort that their data is secure. Will you be able to
answer those questions the next time a customer or shareholder
asks?
