Cybersecurity’s Holistic Approach

This issue of our ENL covers a lot of ground, from the boardroom to the industrial landscape.

Managing the risks of third-party relationships has become a critical function for organizations in every industry, says Alastair Parr, as he leads off our lineup of tech features. He explains that organizations work with thousands of third-party vendors, suppliers, and partners today, and these relationships can be great for business. Third-party partners can source new opportunities, but with opportunity comes risk, as this situation is becoming untenable because of third-party data breach threats, changing vendor ecosystems and increasing regulatory oversight.

Justin Greis, and Daniel Wallance from McKinsey & Company discuss why the C-suite should not leave complete control of technology to the techies but assume rigorous oversight from day one. In addition, Joe Weiss from Control magazine reports why critical infrastructure cybersecurity incident reporting is not working and explains why dealing with risk is difficult if you’re not equipped to recognize it.

Did we hit the mark on this issue? And if not, what do you want to see more of?
