Rise of Disruptive Technology and Cyber Risks

Aggressive Nation States, such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, represent a disproportionate risk to the global digital ecosystem. They bring tremendous offensive capabilities and are willing to leverage them in pursuit of their foreign policy objectives. This results in attacks against Critical Infrastructure sectors that societies heavily rely upon – finance, healthcare, electricity, communications, food distribution, trade logistics, etc.

We are already seeing a significant uptick in attacks and expect it will get worse. It is not a time to panic, but rather move with purpose to proactively protect our digital world. We must rationalize the threat and take proper collective measures to manage the risks.
