Ransomware attackers are setting the agenda in cybersecurity
Companies must up their game on cyber awareness, says GlobalData
Following news that Royal Mail has been hit by a ransomware attack, David Bicknell, principal analyst on the Thematic Intelligence team at GlobalData, offers his view on how companies can improve their cybersecurity measures.
“This attack is a sharp reminder that no company is immune from attack,” he said. “The silver lining is that an attack like this should jolt every chief executive into scrutinizing their cyber-readiness plans. This scrutiny should involve examining every aspect, every action, and every individual named. No CEO wants to look at their action plan after an attack and realize that a key individual left the company three months ago.
