“If 2020 and COVID-19 have taught us anything, it’s that no organization is safe from cyber threats and malicious actors, and as digitization and connectivity continue to grow across the world, organizations will need to remain aware. In all sectors, across all industry verticals, the aggregation of BSI and Forbes Technology Council expertise and experience will help ensure that our clients are compliant, safe, secure and resilient in their management of information risk and able to adapt to changing business needs."
