Not much time has passed since the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline earlier this year and the last of the supply chain cyber attacks. Do you think this will be the last one? We don’t.
These examples are a wake-up call for the ever-present risk of cyber attacks and their impact on your organization and supply chain. To increase business and operational efficiencies, reduce overhead, and increase both client and public engagement, organizations rely heavily on information technology (IT). However, an increase in cyber attacks and data breaches creates a storm of risks and challenges.
While you’re probably wondering what can be done to predict or prevent an incident like this in the future, we think the better question is: what can you do to prepare for the next one?
