This Global Cybersecurity Week is a timely reminder that cyber risk is no longer a technical issue – it’s a business imperative.  

As threat actors move faster and AI amplifies the speed and precision of attacks, organisations must evolve how they manage and reduce risk over time. The era of “patch when you can” is over. Traditional, reactive vulnerability management is no longer fit for purpose. 

To stay ahead, businesses need a central, strategic view of their cyber risk posture. A dedicated Risk Operations Centre (ROC) provides this visibility—bringing together data from across the enterprise and translating it into meaningful, business-aligned insights. This enables business leaders to proactively manage risk based on impact, likelihood and cost, rather than reactive guesswork. 

Effective risk management also can’t happen in silos. When security, IT, compliance and business departments operate in lockstep, they can identify and prioritise the most critical assets, strengthen resilience, and deliver measurable outcomes. The ability to consolidate, interpret and act on risk data across the organisation is now a competitive advantage.
