Increasingly, organisations are waking up to the negative business impact of poor cybersecurity programmes and are taking cyber incidents more seriously in their mergers and acquisitions deals (e.g YAHOO! and Verizon). However, trying to get a grasp of the cyber profile of an organisation is extremely difficult – as integrity of information is often difficult to monitor. For companies to grow and become desirable for acquisition deals, they need to be able to demonstrate their cyber resilience strategies. Businesses must be able to prove to their stakeholders, clients, potential buyers and shareholders that they have taken every reasonable step to ensure that their mission critical information is protected.  Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF, discusses the nature of the mergers and acquisitions process in a digital age and offers insights into how organisations can build a strong cyber resilience programme to move with confidence as they pursue new acquisitions. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/building-cyberseisitions-process/

In a digital age, the internet is viewed by businesses and individuals alike as a basic utility. Businesses are dependent upon it and this, in itself, is a threat that cyber criminals can take advantage of. We saw earlier in May 2017 how the NHS attack on its critical infrastructure led to a shutdown of the NHS Windows systems, causing medical professionals to have to resort to pens and paper when noting patient data. Moreover, a few years ago Russian hackers cut the internet off in Estonia in a national attack on their critical infrastructure, resulting in business grinding to a halt. The internet is a part of every businesses infrastructure, so what is the impact if this is compromised and what should a business response plan look like?  Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF, offers solutions for C-suite leaders, should their critical infrastructure come under attack and advises how a reliance on older technology can assist an organisation through an internet attack. Fundamentally, whilst the future is becoming more and more digitised, organisations need to be planning for the day when their technology is not working.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threats-to-critinet-as-a-utility/

In March 2017, the New York Department for Financial Services (DFS) implemented a Cyber Security regulation, requiring financial institutions to establish a cyber security programme to protect consumer data.

People remain a ‘wild card’ to the cyber security of an organisation. Many businesses recognise people as their biggest asset, yet still fail to recognise the need to secure ‘the human element’ of information security. Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF, tackles the question: how can organisations make people their strongest line of defence against cyber-attack? https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-izon-2017-series/
