Update nr. 9

Tearing down walls

It is only a couple of weeks before holidays will begin. This is a time for leisure and reflection without having to worry about work.
I don’t know if the same happens to other people, but especially at times like this I start thinking about the future. During holidays I entertain myself with finding ways to respond to future trends and developments.

The world is changing rapidly and today’s risks are not those of tomorrow. Some of the trends that may bring along new risks are globalisation, a more flexible labour market, less government intervention, changing social values and organisations built on knowledge.

What should businessmen take into account the years to come?

Information security in the broadest sense of the word is an issue that will most definitely require your attention. Information is omnipresent in businesses, and therefore it entails a lot of risks. Do you know what the greatest risk is? Your own employees. They pose the greatest threat, most often consciously but also unconsciously.

Information security should therefore not be seen as standing on its own. Regardless of the measures you take to improve information security, it is crucial to ‘tear down walls’ within your organisation to make it obvious that the problem affects every employee and can only be solved by working on it together. Finally, every employee will share in the benefits derived from this approach.

This Update offers you information about our new services in the field of information security. Our aim is to offer simple and workable solutions.
