Comments from Fujitsu - cyber incidents top risk for businesses

Following the new research from Allianz that reveals that cyber incidents are a top risk for businesses, please see below comments from Rob Norris, Director of Enterprise and Cyber Security at Fujitsu UK & Ireland:
“The news that cyber incidents are ranked as the top risk to businesses for reputation in the UK is not a surprise. Due to the number of high profile breaches over the last year, culminating in both monetary and reputational losses, organisations are increasingly focused on protecting their digital assets against cyber-attack.
“As consumers continue to embrace more digital services, data protection will become increasingly important – according to our recent ‘Digital Inside Out’ study into digital enablement, more than 1 in 5 consumers will now always use a digital service when it is offered by an organisation. Yet despite the surge in usage, of the 12% of UK consumers who said they never use digital services when offered to them, the second highest reason given was security concerns. This highlights the importance of proactive prevention. Organisations must consider the people, process and technology elements when it comes to responding to the threats they face, which will help ensure that they are dealing with the most dangerous problems first.”
