Corruption takes many forms and can pervade every human endeavour where temptation and opportunity meet. Today, companies with global operations face a huge risk of bribery and corruption while doing business.

With the advent of strict domestic as well as foreign bribery laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (US FCPA), UK Bribery Act (UKBA), etc their increasing enforcement, the imposition of record fines and criminal penalties have been sending shock waves through the business community. Latest to join this force are multilateral development banks (MDBs) who have also escalated their campaign against fraud and corruption on projects financed by them.

Advances in digital technology have changed the way we live, communicate and do our business. Today’s world is more connected than ever before. Just like your business, criminals are taking advantage of innovation and automation. No business is immune from cyber-threats. Having a hundred percent secure computer system is a myth. Organizations can’t prevent every possible attack due to limitations in the security tools and sophistication of attackers. When organisations face a cyberattack, a rapid and thorough incident response is essential to minimise the threat and safeguard the critical information infrastructure. The impact severity, scope, and cost of a cyber security incident increases with every hour it remains unresolved. Time compounds the problem and any delay or inefficiency will only increase the damage and loss from a security breach. According to PwC’s Global State of Information Security Survey® 2016, the average cost of a security breach is 2.5 million USD.
