Building resilience and preparedness to navigate a growing threat
As companies continue to adapt to an evolving business environment, the threat posed by cyber attacks continues to grow in scale and complexity. Companies are increasingly vulnerable to a growing proliferation of ransomware, spear phishing, and deep fakes.
Layer on increased exposure with dispersed workforces and greater regulatory scrutiny requiring public companies to report cyber-attacks within three days of an incident, and companies are under immense pressure to get a handle on threats in real time.
The risk of damage to a company's reputation and business cannot be understated—and effective planning and preparedness is key to navigating a cyber attack.
Together, with an expert team of legal counsel, IT, security and operational oversight, communications plays an integral role in managing relationships with key stakeholders and employees, managing media, and mitigating reputational harm.
