In an era marked by uncertainty, including due to geopolitical and geoeconomic tensions and supply chain disruptions, organisations continue to face an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.

With threat actors employing both traditional and emerging tactics, there is urgency for organisations to implement a comprehensive risk management strategy that helps them effectively mitigate risks and improve resilience. As explored in Cybersecurity Signals, Connecting Controls and Incident Outcomes, organisations that regularly test and align their incident response and employee awareness training are better positioned to manage crises efficiently.

In this episode of Risk in Context, Dan Bowden, Global Business Chief Information Security Officer at Marsh McLennan, speaks with Helen Nuttall, UK Head of Cyber Incident Management at Marsh, and Matthew Berninger, Principal Cyber Analyst at Marsh McLennan's Cyber Risk Intelligence Center. They discuss the importance of reviewing and reinforcing cyber controls to help minimise cyber exposures and uncertainty with the goal of better protecting people, finances, and operations from cyber threats.
