Ruth Promislow writes in Cannabis Prospect Magazine on five steps cannabis organizations can consider in managing their cyber risk:

1. Guidance issued to cannabis organizations by Privacy Commissioners
2. Risk goes beyond an organization’s four walls
3. In order to manage the risk, an organization needs to understand its particular risk
4. IT is only one component of an effective risk management strategy
5. Insurance is no replacement for management of cyber risks

Ruth also highlights the importance of implementing a risk management strategy. Her column is on pages 22 and 23 of the February issue.
