Solving the Cyber Puzzle:
The Unexpected Ways Cyber Risk Impacts Your Business
Intellectual Property
Intangible assets make up 80% of the value of S&P 500
companies. But less than one-third of companies protect
trade secrets. It is critical that organizations
identify, protect and understand the value of their IP.

Mergers and Acquisitions
Leave nothing to chance when pursuing a merger,
acquisition or divestment. Pre-deal, cyber security due
diligence is essential. Without it, a company may
unintentionally inherit cyber risks and vulnerabilities.
Retirement
Organizations commonly hold false confidence in the
security of retirement plans. Given the amount of data
and money at stake, it is imperative to see the whole
cyber picture and understand the organization's
fiduciary responsibility.
Executives
For attackers seeking a substantial payday, the C-suite
is the bullseye on the target. C-level executives are 9x
more likely to be victimized. This team needs to be
secured inside and outside of the organization's digital
and physical walls.

Computer Crime
Internet-enabled theft, fraud and exploitation were
responsible for $2.7 billion in financial losses in
2018. For companies that work with suppliers and
vendors, business email compromise is a serious risk.
Solving the computer crime puzzle is critical.

The Corporation
The cyber threat to the corporation is real and comes
from many angles: class actions, regulatory fines and
ratings downgrades. Public companies are accountable to
timely disclosure of cyber incidents, and disclosure of
risk. Solidifying the organization's cyber security
posture is essential.
