Creating Trust in a Digital World

Organizations have no choice but to operate in this evolving environment so, inevitably there is a growing focus within governments and the media on what is going wrong where cyberspace meets the physical world. Customers having their personal details stolen and used is unacceptable, and the theft of intellectual property is understood to be detrimental to prosperity, as is the burden of the losses and the subsequent costs of remediation. The hacking and manipulation of media, communications, government administration and defence systems is seen as a significant threat to national security. So how well do you understand what surviving in the digital world means for you and your organization?

Our 2015 Global Information Security Survey (GISS) provides insights from 1,755 participants and investigates the most important cybersecurity issues facing business today.

Last year, we identified the ways organizations could get ahead of cybercrime by following a three stage journey – Activate, Adapt, and Anticipate. This concept still applies, but as cyber attackers are continuously changing tactics, increasing in their persistence and expanding their capabilities, the nature of the cyber threats has evolved.
