Cyber security has become about much more than just meeting compliance requirements and data protection laws. Today, the possibilities to collect and analyse data are unprecedented as the volume of digital information being shared between suppliers, contractors, business partners and clients just keeps growing. But as companies’ digital relationships expand, so too does their exposure to cyber risks. Cybercrime has become a very real threat for business continuity and reputation.
