In fact, many organizations are finding that as digital adoption accelerates, digital risk becomes the greatest facet of risk they face, especially growing cyber risks. AS ORGANIZATIONS EXPAND DIGITAL OPERATIONS, CYBER SECURITY RISKS MULTIPLY Organizations need to evolve to stay in front of rising cyber threats and their wide-reaching impact across increasingly digitized operations. Attackers continue to advance and use sophisticated techniques to infiltrate organizations which no longer have well defined perimeters.

  • Cybersecurity in a Digital Era.Pdf
    Digital McKinsey and Global Risk Practice Cybersecurity in a Digital Era June 2020 Introduction Even before the advent of a global pandemic, executive teams faced a challenging and dynamic environ- ment as they sought to protect their institutions from cyberattack, without degrading their ability to innovate and extract value from technology investments. CISOs and their partners in business and IT functions have had to think through how to protect increasingly valuable digital assets, how to assess threats related to an increasingly fraught geopolitical environment, how to meet increasingly stringent customer and regulatory expectations and how to navigate disruptions to existing cybersecurity models as companies adopt agile development and cloud computing. We believe there are five areas for CIOs, CISOs, CROs and other business leaders to address in particular: 1. Get a strategy in place that will activate the organization. Even more than in the past cybersecurity is a business issue – and cybersecurity effectiveness means action not only from the CISO organiza- tion, but also from application development, infrastructure, product development, customer care, finance, human resources, procurement and risk. A successful cybersecurity strategy supports the business, highlights the actions required from across the enterprise – and perhaps most importantly captures the imagination of the executive in how it can manage risk and also enable business innovation. 2. Create granular, analytic risk management capabilities. There will always be more vulnerabilities to address and more protections you can consider than you will have capacity to implement. Even companies with large and increasing cybersecurity budgets face constraints in how much change the organization can absorb.

It is evident that applied for risk management in information and these parameters result in a smaller degree of reusability of a communication technologies (ICT). These different risk given risk management process and less comparability of the management approaches are usually bound to the organization information obtained from it. where they are applied, thus staying quite specific for a given When interpreting this problem as a pure ICT issue, an setting. Consequently, there is no possibility to compare or explicit ICT solution is required. This leads to the main reuse risk management structures because they are individual research question of this paper, i.e., whether it is possible to solutions. In order to establish a common basis for working develop a common risk management model, which is with different underlying risk models, a metamodeling approach from the area of disaster recovery is used.

  • Decoding the Future IT Risk Management. Disrupted
    Decoding the future IT Risk Management. Disrupted. Exploring the future of IT risk management By Chris Recchia, Tom Bigham and Rob Dighton Decoding the future | IT Risk Management. Disrupted. IT Risk Management. Disrupted. With fragmented IT architecture and legacy infrastructure still widespread across the financial services industry, many organisations are already struggling to get IT risk management right. A wave of change is coming that will make this challenge even more complex. Current approaches to managing IT risk, developed in an era focused on establishing controls for financial reporting, are no longer fit-for-purpose and need to be redesigned. Now is the time for senior financial services risk professionals to begin preparing for the array of changes that are altering the world in which we all operate and compete. The need for effective risk management is rapidly increasing in response to the rise in threats and the unprecedented wave of innovation spreading across the financial services industry. Robotics, Fintech, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing and blockchain are some of the emerging trends that are expected to reshape the financial services industry and have a substantial impact on firms of all sizes and geographical spread. Financial services firms employ many more risk managers than they traditionally did, yet risk management teams remain on a reactive footing with a predominant focus on traditional IT general controls and risk assessment techniques, and are limited by the processes, systems and wider business insight with which they have been equipped. As technology transforms banking and insurance and shifts the risk landscape, organisations will need to develop an entirely new approach to IT risk management.
