Many people think that cyber security refers to the software and monitoring that protect their email, operating system, network, and printing devices from malicious attack or data theft. Admittedly, this is a large and important part of cyber security for businesses. But management and employees also play a significant role in making sure your company is protected.

In this month of cybersecurity awareness, AmCham Ghana, on October 27, 2021, collaborates with one of the leading business advisory firms KPMG for a virtual meeting on Emerging Cyber Threats in the business environment. Speakers at this event were the Associate Director for the IT Advisory unit of KPMG,  Samuel Aluko, and Information Protection and Business Resilience Manager, Chris Owusu-Ansah.

According to the KPMG Cyber Security Catalogue, cyber risk is an everyday business consideration in the way that threats in the real world have always been.

The event also featured a cyber game that shared light on cyber risks and what management can do to address these risks.
