Secure. Confident. Ready
The disconnect between digital transformation ambitions and cybersecurity execution is widening. While organisations invest in AI, cloud, and analytics to drive growth, only 40% embed cybersecurity at the planning stage. The result: delayed projects, higher risks, and weakened competitiveness in an increasingly digital-first world.
A new International Data Corporation (IDC) survey, sponsored by BDO, reveals the stark reality. Average response times to cyber incidents exceed four days, with full recovery over a week - delays that erode trust, disrupt operations, and stall innovation. Emerging risks from GenAI, including phishing, data leakage, and governance blind spots, highlight the urgent need for a cohesive risk management framework.
Ultimately, security must move upstream, embedded early and supported by expert teams, automation, and orchestration.
The ultimate goal for BDO Cyber is ensuring that our clients feel: Secure. Confident. Ready.
