In a bid to offer business leaders and information security professionals much needed advice and guidance on threats in cyberspace, independent information security body, Information Security Forum (ISF) has launched a new report which identifies the key capabilities that organizations need to adopt to increase their resilience to threats.

Titled, Cyber Security Strategies: Achieving cyber resilience, the report highlighted 10 key developments shaping the current threat landscape in the cyber space. These are:

1. The benefits of cyberspace are immense, as are the risks – the more successful you are in cyber space the greater the impact of risk

2. Organizations must embrace uncertainty and develop cyber risk resilience

3. Malspace is a global industry that has evolved to facilitate cyber crime

4. Impacts from cyber threats can have a very long and disproportionate risk tail

5. Hacktivism presents significant threats to the organization, not just its information security

6. Cyberspace vastly increases information security risk

7. Information security is fundamental and more important for security in cyberspace

8. The complexity of cyberspace enables threats to combine quickly in unpredictable and dangerous ways

9. It is essential to collaborate, share intelligence and influence good practice across cyberspace

10. Cyber security is more than information security - it’s a business issue.

The ISF report comes at a time when international organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF) are highlighting the increasing risks of cyber crime and the possibility of a greater number of cyber attacks in the year ahead.
