Cyber resilience is an organisation’s capability to withstand the effects of unexpected threats from activities in cyber space.
Understanding the potential impact of cyber attacks is a vital part of any cyber resilience plan. Businesses need to ensure that security management and business resilience comply so that critical systems and processes are maintained.
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that downed the website of the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) highlights the need for much better preparation against cyber crimes for every type of digital organisation.
The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) has been involved for several years now in a mapping exercise of the cybersecurity strategies in Europe and the world. The work done has not only produced a listing of all the related strategy documents but also an interactive tool that illustrates the status of the strategies woldwide.
With every company becoming digital, security will become fundamental to any activity, not just in a technical way, but as a matter of business.
Security is no longer just about protecting a business’s information.
An investigation of the Australian Tv shows 60 minutes showed how a massive security hole in modern telecommunications is exposing billions of mobile phone users to illegal activities.
The program showed how German hackers were able to intercept and record the calls of an Australian senator and track his movements.
Cyber security threats are evolving rapidly. Organisations are facing not simply an escalating risk, but the near certainty that sooner or later they will suffer a cyber-security breach.
Back in 2012, the World Economic Forum launched a Partnership for Cyber Resilience, in response to the growing importance of cyber security. It now counts over 100 organisations involved in the partnership. Among these is WISER’s partner, the leading global provider of risk management, insurance and reinsurance brokerage, Aon.
Antonio Alvarez Romero, consultant at Atos, was recently interviewed by the Euranet Plus radio station about the WISER project, a new innovation action under Europe’s Horizon 2020. In the interview, Antonio explains the main innovations that WISER will take to market over the next 30 months.
