ZDNet has a video of a presentation by Paul Twomey, chief executive of
ICANN and member of the British-North American Committee, advising
chief executives of the risks to business from cyber-espionage and how
to deal with them.
The video follows an earlier news report of the presentation on ZDNet
that discussed a report “entitled Cyber Attack: A Risk Management
Primer for CEOs and Directors,” that was launched last week.
“The British-North American Committee (BNAC) said that chief executives
underestimate the scale of data-security problems and fail to recognise
the consequences of data breaches for business. BNAC is a group of
business leaders and academics from the UK, US and Canada aimed at
lobbying the governments of all three countries about management and
business-related issues.”
Twomey was one of the authors of the report said that the majority of
chief executives do not recognise the risks posed by cyber-espionage to
business. ICANN is the organisation tasked with managing the assignment
of domain names and IP addresses on behalf of the US government
reported ZDNet.
The video presentation and ZDNet report both cover much the same issues
such as the importance of cyber-espionage, intellectual property theft
and distributed denial-of-service attacks.
