What are the risks, regulation and benefits? How to ensure effective implementation for business survival?
Today, businesses from across sectors, ranging from financial services, industrial manufacturers, healthcare to professional services are operating in uncharted territory amid the chaos and upheaval brought about by COVID-19. The disruption has created a new generation of critical infrastructure for organisations, requiring new levels of security and oversight.
Rapid responses to the coronavirus pandemic, including shifting to remote working environments, have forced organisations to address the numerous privacy, data protection, security and compliance issues. Companies are now compelled to fast-track their security and compliance implementation to ensure their digital platforms are not only secure, but prepared for the risks and threats beyond COVID-19.
