National Cyber Security and Business Cyber Security The first duty of Government is to protect its citizens. This is still a statement that means something in the west. In the physical world much money is spent on defense forces that are designed, in the main, to defend rather than attack. NATO is a defensive organisation because of this philosophy. In my book Critical Information Infrastructures, 2010, with Springer Nature Group I warned of the dichotomy between the physical and virtual worlds in respect of defending citizens. Today there are widespread virtual and physical consequences of this. The liberal and democratic West is exposed to many virtual authoritarian attacks simply because much of the Internet is poorly regulated, if regulated at all. An, and perhaps the defining, example of this is the Boeing issue - where a highly regulated, physical world, master aircraft builder is humiliated by the trio of modern gods: C-Suite egos, quarterly accounts and poorly regulated software. In a new work 'The Invisible Apocalypse' (BUCSIS, 2024), with Daniel White of Erasmus University in Rotterdam, we note the inter-state warfare consequences of this situation. China is by no means perfect and a 'difficult' but needed partner for the west. I hold no candle for them personally or in business having carried the personal physical, corporate and political, bruises. However, they are intent on creating a cyber sovereign space in which the CCP, of course, is protected, and citizens controlled but also protected from cyber attacks. The Great Firewall and Blockchain are mechanisms. This approaxch also helps bind those in the Belt and Road Initiative to them. So it is an interesting dichotomy. More on the 'Invisible Apocalypse' later.

Despite perception, it's not just big businesses being cyber attacked: the hackers are indiscriminate. All entities are in their scope. Your organization is a target. Some thoughts: what is the public sector (whether UK, US or whichever country) doing to proactively manage cyber risk and ensure they are doing all that they can with the resources available? When will non-profits, churches, charities etc realize that they are easy targets and need to be managing cyber effectively? Small business owner, it could happen to you - but you can take cost-effective steps to better protect your business. I have the honor to work with many different organizations, some of which have reached out after a cyber attack not wishing to go through that pain again, others being proactive (which I really respect!) and others because they want to simply meet Regulatory requirements (such as SEC Rules). There are other entities I have talked with who've said 'but we are already spending on cyber security so we should be fine'. BUT they are making an ASSUMPTION. Assumptions are dangerous. With effective cyber risk governance executives gain knowledge, have clarity on their exposure, and can make informed decisions. Welcome to DM me and we can have a conversation on your cyber requirements. #satx #protectyourbusiness #cyberawareness
