Knowledge For The Digital Age

We are at the beginning of an electronic revolution that like earlier industrial revolutions will substantially alter and change our society. The development is probably best described as the 4th Industrial Revolution.

This 4th Revolution employs deep data analysis with interconnections and links to Bio-technology, Artificial Intelligence, robotics and the Internet of Things all of which will significantly alter us as humans and the places we work and live and it has already changed crime and is changing warfare.
 
Cyber Attacks and Fraud

National crime is for most countries now 50% cyber, yet this is not being focused on by national police forces who don’t have the experience or systems to deal with this type of crime.  

Currently Londoners are losing an average of £26 million a month in cyber-attacks on businesses and individuals, Scotland Yard has warned.

What does Cyber-Warfare look like?

Cyber-war is still an emerging concept, but many experts are concerned that it is likely to be a significant component of any future conflicts. As well as troops using conventional weapons like guns and missiles, future wars will also be fought by hackers using computer code to attack an enemy's infrastructure.

At its core, cyber warfare, currently, is the use of digital attacks by one country or nation to disrupt the computer systems of another with the aim of create significant infrastructure damage, and potential assistance to more traditional military attack – this military strategy and tactics is similar to the beginning of aircraft use at the beginning of the 20th century when aircraft were only seen as having a visual intelligence use.

So in the Commercial World how do we develop a Cyber Security practice for a Digital Commercial Future?

Organisations must review the best ways to go about developing sound cyber-security policies and practices in 2019 that could be used for commercial gain as well as internal commercial security.

Here are five recommendations.

1.Update software and systems

This requires centralised IT policy that adopts a 'push' methodology, forcing new security updates onto a user's device when they connect to the network, instead of a 'pull' methodology, which notifies the user that a new security patch is available and gives them the option to load this new software when it's convenient.

2. Conduct top-to-bottom Cyber Security Audits

Your company should conduct a thorough cyber security audit of its IT assets and practices.
These audits should be carried out by an independent cyber-audit business that brings a clear understanding of cyber security to the business being audited – this would be similar to a Financial Audit and so it should also bring a certification of completion and security each year.

3. Provide continuing Cyber-Security Training

Cyber-security education should be a part of every employee’s work process.
On a quarterly basis, a refresher course in cyber-security practices should also be given to employee’s company-wide.
This ensures that security policies and practices stay fresh in employees' minds, and that they understand any policy additions or changes.

4. Sales and Marketing

Your planning, sales and marketing departments should use web search and analysis of the markets, your clients and potential markets and new clients.
Full electronic market research is very effective for understanding your current clients and building new markets and clients.

5. Inform your Board and Chief Executive

This makes it important for Chief Information Officers, Chief Security Officers, and others with security responsibilities to clearly explain cybersecurity and digital research technologies in plain language that the Board, and stakeholders understand.
