NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) July 9, 2024--Organizations need to recognize the evolving nature of cyber threats and embed in their risk management frameworks cyber security policies and practices suited to that challenge, according to a compilation of articles on cyber security published today by S&P Global Ratings.
The digital booklet, "Cyber Risk Insights: Navigating Digital Disruption," includes eight articles addressing cyber risk and its management, and the implications for senior executive teams, IT asset management, regulation, and different economic sectors and industries.
"The frequency of cyber threats, the paths that they travel, and the size of their potential impact have all multiplied, often unpredictably, in recent years," notes the introduction to the digital booklet. "That has left mitigants, including security systems, staff training, and insurance, often playing catchup."
A copy of the digital book, which can be downloaded as a PDF, is available here .
