The hostile limelight

Published on
November 1, 2023

Organisations around the world need to factor the geopolitical risk to cyber security – and the cyber-driven elements of geopolitical risk – into their strategic decision making.

Some of these considerations include:

  • Cyber in the conflict domain: How organisations should adapt security and resilience processes to manage a geopolitically-driven threat landscape;
  • The evolving regulatory regime: How organisations can prepare for a politically charged regulatory landscape powered by national security considerations, public trust and domestic politics; and
  • The media spotlight: What organisations need to do to manage the risks associated with cyber in the media, and prepare their cyber teams for the spotlight.

A risk-based approach to cyber budgets

Cybersecurity budgets are often poorly aligned with the actual level of risk to the organisation. Such misalignment can be driven by local challenges measuring and quantifying cyber risk, but it is compounded by the challenge of mapping perceived risk levels to security staff levels, controls, and approaches to risk mitigation. This article suggests a practical framework for leaders on how risk can become the driver of budgeting decisions.

The Future of MDR: From reactive monitoring to intelligence-led attack disruption

In today’s threat landscape, where attacks span identity, cloud, endpoint, data and third-party ecosystems, metrics such as alerts triaged, tickets closed and response times are no longer enough. What matters is whether an organisation can identify the threats that matter, disrupt them before they become business events, and use that insight to make better risk decisions.
