Cyber incidents and breaches are more prevalent and sophisticated than ever with attacks happening both directly and through the supply chain. The most widely publicised cyber events of 2021 involved ransomware attacks on sectors and technology companies considered part of national critical infrastructure. The average cost of a data breach in 2021 reached $4.2 million per incident, up from $3.86 million in 2020 according to a recent report by IBM and the Ponemon Institute. This represents a cost of $6 trillion in cybercrime damages, or equal to a fictitious 3rd largest economy if it was ranked, behind US and China.
With the number of attacks expected to continue to increase in 2022, cyber security professionals have to be constantly vigilant to new threats and look to new forms of cyber defence. Join Blackberry alongside Heads of IT and IT Security for this interactive 90-minute virtual boardroom where we will discuss how to prepare your business for cybersecurity incidents so you can reduce their likelihood, cost and impact. We will share insights from what organisations have done, what they can do, what works – and discuss practical use cases in the business context.
Key discussion points:
- Preparing for cyber attacks: How can we better prepare?
- How can we concretely harness artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity services to prevent compromise?
- The challenges of implementing a “Zero Trust” plan
