Cyber risk continues to increase, driven by rapid technological advances such as (generative) artificial intelligence or cloud technology. Global industries are increasingly dependent on IT, IoT (Internet of Things), OT (Operational Technology) and digital services, such as cloud computing, each of which represent a critical part of the supply chain for many risk owners. Furthermore, the advancing sophistication of cyber criminals and the tense geopolitical situation shape the cyber threat landscape and pose a threat to global societies and democracies.

It spurred some brilliant suggestions, surprises, and moments of “OMG, yeah, of course.” It made me realize how much we take for granted.
