2021年5月、コロニアル・パイプラインがダークサイド・ハッカーの標的となった際、CEOのジョセフ・ブラウントは440万ドルの身代金を支払うという非常に物議を醸す決断を下した。この攻撃により米国の重要なインフラが危機にさらされ、ジョー・バイデン大統領への毎日のブリーフィングにつながった。ブラウントは、身代金支払いを国家にとって必要なものと正当化し、この決断を自身のキャリアで最も困難なものの1つであると述べた。 「私たちは苦境に立たされ、どの企業も直面したくないような難しい選択を迫られた」と、ブラウントは米国上院国土安全保障・政府問題委員会で証言した。 2023年にはランサムウェアの支払額が過去最高の11億ドルに達するなど、企業リーダーにとってこのような難しい選択が頻繁に行われるようになってきている。 攻撃が発生するか否かが問題なのではなく、いつ発生するかが問題であると理解する CSO や CEO も増えている。 「私にとって最も大きな変化は、攻撃が起こることを完全に受け入れるようになったことだ」と、ISTARIとオックスフォード大学が発表した報告書によると、40億ドルの欧州企業のCEOは述べている。「信じてほしいが、攻撃が起こることを受け入れる組織と、攻撃を撃退できると考える組織では、アプローチに根本的な違いがある」 情報漏えいの必然性を受け入れるという考え方により、企業は今日より...

If there is a single theme circulating among Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) right now, it is the question of how to get stakeholders on board with more robust cybersecurity training protocols. There are key points debated about why you should provide cybersecurity training to your IT professionals, like the alarming increase in cyberattacks (an increase of 72% over the all-time high in 2021, according to the Identity Theft Research Center’s 2023 Data Breach Report), or the rapid evolution in technology, creating a constant game of catch-up. But it isn’t a question of ”if” an organ...
