The birth of the internet led to a significant period of digital transformation across industry sectors as companies scrambled to be pioneering and “relevant” in the internet age. Competitive edge and economies of scale became a priority as the new digital era heralded greater market access and a reduction in the cost of sale. Cyber security wasn’t much on the agenda.

So today with companies transformed and operating under a new culture it is no surprise the risks manifest themselves almost daily in the press, as a result some businesses have taken to technology based solutions to mitigate cyber risks, believing technology created the digital era so technology can fix the threat inherent, only to find that the risk has an innate ability to develop faster than the solution.

And that’s the biggest issue today. Companies endlessly assess themselves against the risk, without actually understanding what that risk really is, what motivates it, how does it operate and how will it target my organisation.
