Abstract

Abstract : If 2018 can be summed up in a word, 'changeable' would come to mind. Politically, sociologically, technologically – the world feels like it's built on fast-moving sands. High-profile breaches and the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have made 2018 feel like a year of seismic change. But digital transformation has also made it a time of opportunity . However, a growing digital footprint comes with additional risk. Security measures that were effective last year may already have become outdated. It is important that firms adopt a robust strategy that combines people, process and technology to enable the business to operate securely, reducing risk and minimising impact, says Phil Beckett of Alvarez & Marsal.
