Risk management includes ascertaining risks or threats to your organisation and deciding whether to prevent, reduce, lay-off or accept those risks. The King Report on corporate governance in South Africa states that the board of directors has the overall responsibility for risk management of the organisation and therefore ultimately decides the organisation’s risk appetite. Risks and threats need to be identified, assessed, monitored and the appropriate mitigation actions need to be put in place in line with the organisation’s risk appetite. This allows the organisation to not only manage its risks but also maximise its opportunities by understanding the environment in which it operates.

Having considered the risks that the organisation may face, the plans for resilience assist the organisation not only to continue business but to also take advantage of opportunities that may arise. Business Continuity and Recovery Plans that have been carefully crafted and tested are essential to ensure resilience of the business. These plans also need to be regularly reviewed to take account of external and internal changes in the organisational environment.

As we navigate through the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity, threats such as phishing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, scanning of public-facing sites, exploitation of both known and emerging vulnerabilities, and ransomware persist as common challenges faced by individuals and organizations alike. The advent of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has empowered cyber threat actors to enhance their malicious techniques in phishing and ransomware activities. Additionally, advanced language models and similar technologies play a crucial role in influencing cybersecurity. Recognising that cybersecurity risks are dynamic, organisations are urged to remain vigilant, stay informed, and adopt proactive measures to safeguard their digital assets.
