The same connections that bring organizations, business partners, consumers, competitors and suppliers together in a digital world can also introduce risks and problems from anywhere in the system or anywhere in the world. No individual or organization is 100% protected because there are too many moving parts beyond anyone’s control. Instead of erecting fortresses of isolation, individuals and organizations should seek out operating models and skills that can build resilience into the organization. Appropriate strategies should strike the right balance between spending to protect and spending to enable. Managing cybersecurity risk is a necessary core competency for any organization looking to take advantage of cyber opportunities for innovation, growth and greater customer connection in the digital realm.
