Курс по управление на киберрисковете

7/22/2019

Мерки за защита от кибератаки. Измерване на резултатите

„Управление на киберрисковете“ е обучение, поставящо си амбициозна цел – подпомагане на широк кръг специалисти: мениджъри на различни нива, експерти по управление на риска, одитори и не само. Поради факта, че ефективното управление на информационната сигурност зависи от всеки служител на дадена компания – на практика всички служители, независимо от тяхното ниво и/или длъжност, са ангажирани в някаква степен с опазването на сигурността на данните.

Proactive approach to cyber risk management, countered by gross negligence, resulted in a severe data breach of the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency.

The hazards which BRIMA has been pointing out to our society and state institutions since 2016 have materialized this week as a heavy data breach of sensitive data causing damage to all the active population of Bulgaria. We have organized and actively participated in a row of events on that cyber risk management topic and provided valuable input to the public opinion and to the state authorities.
The biggest Bulgarian personal data breach has now been confirmed as a fact. There are 57 folders, containing in excess of 1000 files, which hackers sent on Monday- 15/07/2019 to the media in Bulgaria. “Kapital”, a local news provider, appears to have received databases containing more than a million entries containing various personal information details such as addresses, names, and in some cases- earnings. The reality of this leak has been confirmed by numerous reports, which found data matching across varying journalistic sources.
It is a time of awakening to the seriousness of presiding European data privacy and data protection legislation. The consequences of leaks and data mishandling are becoming more dire, but more obvious as well. Just in the last month we have witnessed data breach- related fines. There were such sanctions issued to British airways (in excess of £180 million), to the Mariott Hotel Group (Approximately £100 million), Haga Hospital (€460 000) and even closer to home- UniCredit in Romania was fined in excess of €130 000. Now, with such a large amount of data being taken from the Bulgarian Revenue Agency, is the time for the local Data Protection Agency to set an example and underline the seriousness of dealing with, and mishandling, the data of European Citizens and Residents.
Naturally, this all raises one question- how does such a wide variety of large, certainly “serious” organizations get the “safe handling” of such data so very wrong? As long time providers of cyber risk management services- our observations point to a lack of understanding of what cyber risk management should entail, leading to inadequate preparation of cyber safety and security measures and policies.

An expensive loss and court battle hinge on the boundaries of a broker's obligations to insureds.

Whether a broker is in constant contact with an insured or merely checking in before renewals, it can’t change the fact that the onus for understanding and meeting a policy’s terms and conditions rests first and foremost on the insured. That’s the painfully expensive lesson learned by millionaire Larry Jodsaas, the owner of the pleasure craft Polar Bear, a yacht that took five years and $24 million to build.

With the 2018 hurricane season underway, communities impacted by the historic 2017 season have just barely recovered. And forecasters say we may be in for a repeat.
Despite the Atlantic’s colder-than-normal temperatures during winter, scientists surmise they will warm rapidly throughout the summer. Combined with cool Pacific waters, it’s a recipe for punishing storms.
