Abstract

The frequency and sophistication of cyberthreats and attacks are increasing globally. All organizations including governments are at risk as more devices are connected to a growing network coverage. There is no doubt that the new technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution bring numerous opportunities for smarter and efficient ways of doing business. However, these new processes, technology, and people interacting increases the cyber-risks. Cyber-risks cause a threat to the reputation, operations, data, and assets of the organization. A holistic information security management plan is needed that will transform the organization's approach to mitigate the cyber-risks, protect its infrastructure, devices, and data. This approach will inevitably improve information technology governance and better accountability to the public.
