Technology and globalization are reshaping the business landscape

This digitized, global environment makes it challenging to protect corporate assets and maintain the integrity of the organization and its reputation – “the brand.”

Four game changers are reshaping the business and risk environment and heightening reputation risk

For many businesses and boards today, the convergence of digitization, globalization, increased government regulation, and stepped-up enforcement has brought reputation risk to the forefront.

Cyber Security

Cyber Security is a top concern as companies and boards struggle to keep pace with the risks and challenges posed by digitization

Corporations are expected to be more open than ever before, and employees expect access to corporate networks through the same mobile devices they use in their personal lives. In social media communities – Twitter, Facebook, Linkedln, etc. – the company “no longer controls its brand.”
