World Government Summit – EY
Overview: The rapid digitization of the global economy is leading to a dramatic increase in the number of cyber security incidents. In 2015, and around the world, four out of five organziations employing over 2,500 people where targets of cyber attacks and the estimated financial impact of all such events exceeded $440b.
As people grow more reliant on technology for their everyday activities, they are also looking to their governments to provide for a and robust environment. One where organizations can leverage technology and information storage with a sense of security and comfort in storing and exchanging information.
Citizens and visitors alike demand strong protection against all sorts of threats, including threats to their digital world. Concurrently, governments are relying on digital innovations to help serve stakeholders, contain costs and provide a competitive edge in the global market. These trends point to a growing imperative for cyber threat “resilience” in the digital age. Governments, organizations in the private and public sectors and individuals must all play their part in building an ecosystem that is resilient to cyber threats.
