Speaking at the 2022 Managed Security Services Forum, Mr. Glymin noted that the new growing technological trends in the business landscape has placed cyber security risk as part of enterprise risk and charged boards and managers of companies to start considering cyber security with all urgency.

 “You cannot talk about digital transformation without talking about securing your digital assets. So we need to start from the board, they need to understand that, you need to have a security budget as well. Now, cyber security risk is a part of enterprise risk. At companies were more concerned about credit risk, operational risk and others but now, cyber security is now part of that whole enterprise risk”.
