Summarize

Ruth Promislow writes in Cannabis Prospect Magazine on why cybersecurity represents one of the biggest business risks to cannabis organizations—and what they can do to prepare. Her article on pages 46 and 47 looks at:

  • Exposure from cyber incidents;
  • Litigation risk;
  • Third-party risk;
  • Taking a proactive approach; and
  • Continuing risk.

Ruth says that, "cyberattacks are not going away and the level and sophistication of the attacks continues to increase. As the landscape of cyber risk evolves, so must the defence to these risks. The only way to defend against these persistent attacks, and to survive with as little impact as possible, is to be proactive. Investing in this strategy today will save you in the long run tomorrow."
