In 2023, the World Economic Forum for the first-time ranked cybercrime and cybersecurity as one of the top ten global risks, over both a 2-year and 10-year period.

Legislation in the United States and across the ocean in Europe is moving in the direction of placing responsibility for cyber risks in a company on the senior management and the board. The days when management claimed that a cyber incident was the responsibility of solely the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), the head of IT or the external provider will soon be over. 

The number and scale of cyber threats are increasing exponentially, and in today’s interconnected and technology-driven business world, the question is no longer if your organization will be affected by a cyber-attack, but when. Factor in the current landscape of disruptive technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G, the metaverse, quantum computing, in the backdrop of trade wars, complex supply chains, partner ecosystems, hacktivism, ransomware, and you get a frightening picture of the days ahead. 

Frightening, intimidating, hopeless, paralyzing! That’s the narrative of today’s “cyber” for you. 

That is not us! 

That is not what we are about. 

Instead; 

We recognize that cybersecurity is no longer a technical issue, but a business issue! 

We realize that it is based on the three pillars of technology, people, and policies. 

We reckon that management needs tools that use simpler, non-technical language with easy-to-understand metrics so that they can make informed cybersecurity decisions. 

We reason that these tools need to be repetitive and continuous to help you navigate this ever-changing landscape. 

We reaffirm that your employees are your strongest line of defense and that they should be empowered and rewarded for their positive contribution, not chastised for their mistakes. 

That’s why we are rebooting the existing narrative and propose to accompany you on this journey with a suite of lightweight tools that focus on these three pillars and that have tremendous value on their own but can also be easily integrated into your organization’s existing cybersecurity solution. 

So, on behalf of my team, I welcome you to cyber reimagined or, as we like to call it, Recyber!
