The Strategic Do’s & Don’ts of Cybersecurity
Navigating the digital world has become challenging as attackers find new ways to infiltrate systems, making it hard to know how to stay vigilant and protect your business.
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, programs, and data from digital attacks, unauthorised access, or damage. Cyber incidents are no longer simply an IT problem. A ransomware attack, data breach, or fraudulent transfer authorised by a spoofed email can halt operations, trigger regulatory action, and damage a reputation built over decades.
Under the Data Protection Act, 2019, the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018, and directors’ duties of care under the Companies Act, 2015, responsibility for overseeing cyber risk rests squarely with the board.
