While the current pandemic crisis presents businesses with unprecedented
economic challenges to their very existence, it has also created a
tremendous level of cyber-risks.
Heightened risks are present not only
due to the significant numbers of individuals working from home,
increasing the vulnerability landscape, but also because as states fall
deeper into recessions, some may resort to cyber-espionage in an attempt
to position better their post-pandemic political, economic, and
industrial structures.
Regardless of the industry, the intellectual
property (IP) of any organization is likely to be a precious target for
foreign government-sponsored hackers...
Managing the crisis, in reality, can be much more complex and a
nightmare for decision-makers. However, flexible, agile, and governments
that are being flexible and adaptable while at the same time
prioritizing their cybersecurity measures and counter-espionage efforts
are more prone to survive the crisis as well as sustain domestic
business operations with minimal loss. more
