Global cyber threat T


he global threat from cyber crime to both corporate and individual security is growing; our security requires a response from everyone who uses the worldwide web.


The facilitating factors are well known to us all: a global pandemic is a pretty powerful vector particularly when it has generated action by governments, not previously seen in peacetime, and certainly never previously supported and/or exacerbated by social media.


An unprecedented threat


We have seen a change in the security posture across the globe over the last two and a half years, unprecedented in our working lifetime. Whilst I in no way belittle the physical threat the world faces, the cyber threat to a ubiquitous digital landscape affects everybody who touches the internet, ranging in scale from deadly to stressful, financial and reputational.


Our sudden fascination with global statistics and PPE supplies, whilst being locked down without colleagues to talk with nor with any restraints usually incorporated in a workplace network, made everyone so much more susceptible to the bogus email.


Our reliance on video meetings - although we and the providers adapted very quickly - and the fact that many of us were


now connected to the internet in some form (smartphones, generally) from the morning’s alarm to long after “lights out” gave criminals and organised crime groups hours more opportunity to sow their seeds.
