Companies' increasing green ambitions can end up costing them dearly when it comes to cybersecurity and the green transition. This is the conclusion of a new study from Deloitte, where the research house Epinion has interviewed 80 cyber managers in large Danish companies within energy supply, natural resources and industrial products, writes Børsen.
The report concludes that there may be a tendency for management to forget the IT security agenda when the focus is on the green transition. The transition requires new technology, and IT security is often forgotten in connection with the implementation. But security flaws can cost the bottom line for years – for example, Maersk had to admit this after a cyber attack in 2017.
- It is natural enough that companies do not associate green transition and cybersecurity with each other, but think about this analogy: If you forget cybersecurity in the green transition, it is equivalent to going from gasoline cars to electric cars, but forgetting that the cars must have brakes, says Serdar Cabuk, partner and head of Deloitte Cyber Risk.
