      Cyber incidents are inevitable, costly impacts are optional

      Cyber incidents are a harsh reality in today's digital landscape. No matter the size, industry or reputation of an organisation, it is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The consequences of such incidents can be devastating, leading to significant operational disruptions, financial losses and reputational damage.

      As cyber threats continue to grow in both volume and sophistication, and technology plays an increasingly pivotal role in business operations, leaders are recognising the critical importance of cyber security. In a recent global survey by KPMG, a staggering 77% of CEOs worldwide identified information security as a top concern.

      To safeguard against the costly impacts of cyber-attacks, businesses must be proactive and prepared. It is essential to have a well-defined incident response plan in place, one that is not merely a document but also thoroughly exercised and tested.
