Cyber crime, cyber insecurity ranked eight in 2023 Global Risks Report, remain constant concern for organisations


Johannesburg, 11 Jul 2023

The World Economic Forum unveiled the 2023 Global Risks Report, which identified the world's key risks over the next decade. These global risks are ranked according to severity and explore some of the most severe risks facing organisations and industries. 

Rapid development and deployment of new technologies, increased cyber crime and disruption to critical technology-enabled resources have become the norm and will pose new risks to organisations. Companies must prepare for imminent cyber attacks and incidents. The business impact of not being prepared will have significant and long-lasting effects on a company's operations, financial stability, reputation and competitiveness. A co-ordinated, collaborative approach makes sense when addressing these risks.

Investing time to understand your organisation's environments, business and specific vulnerabilities can effectively assist leadership in understanding their specific cyber risks and associated controls in the business context.

Working closely with a specialist consulting company can take the complexity out of information security.
