ICT is used extensively in all aspects of our society, and the Netherlands is becoming increasingly digitized. It has now become much more than just a supporting tool. Organizations are so heavily dependent on ICT that it has become an essential part of their business model.
This digital society offers society and organizations many opportunities and possibilities. But digitization also brings threats and risks. This makes it important to set up ICT and business activities securely, especially for organizations that process privacy-sensitive data. This ensures confidentiality, integrity, and continuity.
The dangers of cyber security
The old image of a fixed computer in the office still exists, but the boundary is becoming increasingly blurred. Employees bring personal devices such as smartphones and laptops to the office, where they connect to the company network. The boundary between private and business is becoming less and less visible. In addition, organizations are increasingly switching to cloud solutions, data processing is being outsourced, and privacy legislation continues to evolve.
These changing circumstances mean that the risk profile of organizations is changing rapidly. Every day, there are news articles about hacked systems and leaked databases containing sensitive personal data. Ransomware, cryptolockers, DDoS attacks, data leaks, phishing—all these incidents are commonplace and pose a significant risk to organizations.
