Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Cybersecurity Awareness Month

The gap between digital transformation goals and cybersecurity practices is growing wider. Many organisations are pouring resources into AI, cloud, and analytics to accelerate growth, yet only 40% integrate cybersecurity from the outset. This oversight leads to project delays, increased exposure to threats, and reduced competitiveness in an increasingly digital-driven landscape.

A recent International Data Corporation (IDC) survey, supported by BDO, underscores this challenge. It found that the average response time to a cyber incident exceeds four days, while full recovery typically takes more than a week — time losses that damage trust, disrupt operations, and slow innovation. Meanwhile, emerging GenAI-related risks such as phishing, data leaks, and governance gaps further stress the need for a unified and proactive risk management approach.

To stay ahead, cybersecurity must be embedded at the earliest stages — powered by skilled professionals, automation, and orchestration.

At BDO Cyber, our mission is to ensure every client feels: Secure. Confident. Ready.
