Cyber security breaches continue to increase in frequency as businesses struggle to get cyber security right. Boards are finding it difficult to have meaningful discussions about security and approaches to supply chain cyber risks result in a lot of paperwork but few improvements in practice. It’s no wonder hackers are accessing more and more information from large companies and making headline news in the process.

'Cyber Security – Closing the Cyber Gap' is an update to ‘Audit Insights: Cyber Security’ and raises specific issues and concerns that auditors are aware of in the 2015 cyber security environment. We examine the approaches companies and boards should take to ensure systems are secure, and to manage the impact of breaches. We assess how companies are trying to tackle the problem and make recommendations for preventing future security breaches while also highlighting areas where opportunities for positive change exist.
