Acquiring Actionable Knowledge Through
Collaboration
Why sharing experiences is critical to the success of cybersecurity
By Nicole Mills, Exhibition Director, Infosecurity Group
The world is quickly waking up to the true threat of cybercrime.
Cyber incidents topped Allianz’s latest Risk Barometer for only the second time in the survey’s history,
with ransomware attacks, data breaches and major IT outages worrying organisations even more than
business and supply chain disruption, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gartner shares similar insight, identifying the threat of new ransomware models as the top concern facing
firms in its Emerging Risks Monitor Report released in the third quarter of 2021, while the European Union
Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has named the present day as the “golden era of ransomware”.
The consensus is unanimous. Right now, cybercrime is rampant, and 2022 will be a critical year for firms
in turning this increasingly dangerous tide. It is fair to say, achieving this will be easier said than done.
