If Cyber Isn't a Growth Priority, You Don't Have a Growth Strategy
Everyone loves to talk about top-line growth and EBITDA… until a cyber incident wipes out both overnight.
Leaders who treat cybersecurity investment as a growth enabler will win. Leaders who treat cybersecurity as a cost center will lose.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: you can't "out-grow" cyber risk. If you haven't invested ahead of the threat, you're already behind. If you're serious about scaling growth, you'd better be just as serious about protecting the assets that make that growth possible.
The wake-up call is landing
A new Marsh report shows the message is finally getting through:
- Two-thirds of organizations are increasing cyber-risk-prevention spend this year
- Over a quarter plan to invest 25%+ more
- 70% suffered at least one material third-party incident in the last 12 months
Where the investment is going
Organizations are focusing on three main areas:
- Better security technology and mitigation
- Airtight incident response and preparation
- Hiring the right talent
The report surveyed more than 2,200 cybersecurity leaders across 20 countries in eight regions, revealing significant global commitments to strengthening cyber resilience and operational security.
