"The message here is please think before you click," said Ray Kelly, vice chairman of K2 Intelligence.
If anybody would know, it's Kelly. Formerly the longest-serving commissioner of the New York Police Department (NYPD), he has seen the damage that outside threat actors can have on organizations. And as the keynote speaker at ALM's cyberSecure event in New York on September 27, he said that cyber attacks are among the most dangerous attacks he has ever seen.
"Yes, the threat may change, but our vigilance is as strong as it's ever been," he explained.
|Comprehensive business continuity plan needed
From experience, Kelly noted that vigilance from corporate legal departments requires a two-pronged approach. First, companies need a team, either internally or externally, that can respond quickly when suspecting a breach. Second, organizations need a comprehensive business continuity plan for cybersecurity defense.
