Grasping for control
The world is in a permanent state of disruption, beset by natural and man-made disasters, shocks inflicted by physical conflicts and political rivalry, and accelerating change driven by technology.
Amid such chaos, control – over business strategy, operations, and security – can seem like a superpower. Many organisations are left grasping for something solid to help ride out the storm.
Are you ready to tackle the emerging threats that will shape global business in the coming years?
Identity at risk
1
Understanding whether an identity can be trusted is fast becoming one of the most critical capabilities in the world.
In the absence of being able to substantiate an identity, threats such as deepfakes and identity fraud will proliferate, testing traditional security approaches and further breaking down the trust required to do business.
Escalating conflict
2
Many businesses are multi-national and therefore potentially at the mercy of multiple governments, regulators and populations.
This can make navigating change very complicated, especially when countries also enter into conflict. Very rapid change is happening, and cyber is becoming a key tool in military arsenals.
Harmful AI
3
As AI continues to evolve, enabling efficiency and innovation, it also brings risk.
If the underlying data lacks integrity or reliability, AI systems will produce poor and harmful outcomes. Malicious actors are already using AI to spread misinformation, and to launch increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.
“To do cyber security well you have to be constantly paranoid […] It’s not enough to be reactionary to things like geopolitics […] You must have an always-on approach to cyber security.”
