Salient Issues in Cybersecurity Risk Management

Cybersecurity risk spans a spectrum of vulnerabilities across people, processes and technologies. Organisations focusing on technology alone can miss more important issues in cybersecurity, and as such leave themselves open to unattended or unknown risks associated with poor processes, assumptions on security, and indeed a failure to understand how people play critical roles in securing organisations. In recent years, more attention is being paid to human cybersecurity, focusing on the proclivities, behaviours and unexpectedness of people. With technologies continuing to evolve, human action and intent can intertwine with escalating risk, with organisations needing to continually improve, reinvent and recalibrate their cybersecurity posture: knowing how to approach emerging cybersecurity problems or risks can be a starting point.
