Cyber Risk ‒ The Ever Evolving Threat
Cyber risk has naturally evolved over the years as our reliance on technology, personally and professionally, has expanded. But, the previous 2-3 years have created unprecedented exponential growth in the risk. The shift from opportunistic, low-level, ransomware attackers to highly organised criminal gangs, with complex supply chains and calculated methods have made governments, insurers and the general public more aware of the risks than ever.
