The False Economy of Deprioritising Security

In the UK, cyber security has been dropping down the board’s list of priorities.

The UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2023 confirms this trend. Fewer directors, trustees and other senior managers of both UK businesses and charities see

The Third-Party Threat for Financial Organisations

DORA’s supply chain security requirements IT Governance’s research for November 2023 found that 48% of the month’s incidents originated from the supply chain (i.e. were third-party attacks). For Europe, this number rises to 61%. Admittedly, it only takes a comparatively small number of supply chain attacks to skew the number of incidents.

It can be challenging to secure your supply chain – organisations tend to simply trust that the products and services they use are
