Cyber Risk Leaders Magazine – Issue 3, 2020

With our third edition of Cyber Risk Leaders Magazine closing out the year, there may be a degree of crisis fatigue setting in, but it is way too early for a break. The year has had sustained intensity, driven largely by an adaptation to a global pandemic but also with coinciding, heightened geo-political contestation, nation state sponsored cyber-attacks, and weaponisation of information, against populations, intended to defraud, disrupt and destabilise.

In this edition we again provide you the opportunity to deep dive into the cybersecurity domain, corporate risk management and our cover feature on the trends of cloud computing models in their native, multi and hybrid forms. We also include links through to our recent Indo-Pacific Series and the latest Cyber Security Weekly podcasts.  

On that note, as always, there is so much more to touch on and we trust you will enjoy this edition of Cyber Risk Leaders Magazine. Enjoy the read!
