Cybersecurity Compliance & Risk Management

Cybersecurity Remains Among the Most Ubiquitous and Pervasive Enterprise Risks Addressed by Compliance, Legal, Risk Management and Internal Audit Officers and Board Committees.

When upwards of 85% of assets today are digital, cybersecurity universally affects organizations as one of the most malicious and consequential risks they face.

Not only have information technology and operating environments evolved into complex hybrid systems, but also the means, motivations, and skills of threat actors have rapidly matured to a state of tradecraft that is sophisticated, patient and perversely effective.

Regulators that recognize the inherent vulnerability of critical infrastructure in key industries to the evolving threat landscape are steadily putting more teeth into regulations, attestation systems, disclosure requirements and enforcement actions.

Well-prepared organizations should have cybersecurity programs based on the value of their assets, their risk profile and tolerance, the opportunity cost of breach-related operational downtime, and their regulatory obligations and enforcement exposure. It is never “one size fits all”. Our perspective is that, because compromise of digital assets and systems is essentially inevitable, resilience must be the prudent endgame after efforts around prevention, detection and response have done their best.
