Warren Buffett famously heralded cybercrime as a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons. Whether you agree or not, cybercrime is becoming the number one concern for companies worldwide. In a time of rapid digitalisation, spurred on by the global pandemic, we discuss how vulnerable organisations are to cyber attacks and how they can shore up their defences in the face of sluggish government legislation and ever-advancing cyber adversaries. Mitch Scherr, CEO of Assured Cyber Protection, shares his industry-insider perspective on the most common threats and impacts faced by business at large and gives context to what the next five years in a cyber future looks like. Alongside Mitch, Brian Holliday MD of Siemens Digital Industries UK & Ireland, shines light on the potential competitive advantage to be had in the cyber security environment and Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, gives a call to arms for awareness amongst the manufacturing sector as both technology and human factors play their part amid rapid digitalisation.
