Security breaches increase the need for risk management
Recently there has been a lot of security breaches and hacks, of which the most talked about are the cases of Vastaamo and Solarwinds. The public discussion emphasizes especially the bad news but successes are rarely brought up. However, there are examples of this as well.
– Cyber security is an overall concern and more than anything it’s risk management, Netox’ Director of cyber security Markku Korkiakoski defines.
– When exceptional situations and quick changes prevail it’s understandable that not all risks have necessarily been taken into account. For example the COVID-19 pandemic brought along a global remote work culture and I argue that most companies and operators didn’t have a genuine preparedness for this change. A change of this magnitude in operating culture creates new risks also in the point of view of cyber security.
The Cyber Security Director reminds, that nowadays all companies and operators are in one way or another digital and thus prone to cyber attacks.
– When the entirety is scrutinized in the light of public cases, it’s imminent, that threats related to the cyber environment are not taken seriously enough. For many companies cyber security is a relatively new matter even though it should be an essential part of business environment and it’s continuity.
