• Identification of the culprits inside and outside
• Vulnerability and the drive to mitigate risks
Conclusions
Kroll’s overall conclusions are that:
- In today’s digitized and globalized markets, the value and vulnerability of information has made it among the most difficult of assets to protect. It is not surprising that respondents report a heightened sense of vulnerability across the board, and that information-related threats top the list of concerns in all risk areas – fraud, cyber, and security.
- Given the costly and wide-ranging repercussions that companies suffer from incidents, the imperative has never been greater to focus efforts on effective preparedness, response, and remediation measures. However, the convergence of a global economy, complex digital connections, and perennial human factors means that many risks are no longer solely a fraud, cyber, or security problem.
- The findings crystallize the need for multidisciplinary approaches if organizations are to better manage their risks going forward.
