KPMG launches app to assess cyber security index

In a bid to help organisations combat the growing risk from cyber criminals, KPMG has launched ‘Cyber Kare’ in India, a tool aimed at empowering senior management to self-asses cyberthreats and gauge their current level of preparedness to combat them.

The ‘Cyber KARE’ toolkit is designed for assessment to be performed by senior management and CxOs, and provides a quantitative output depicting organisation’s current positioning with respect to cyber risk exposure (CEI – Cyber Exposure Index) and cyber security preparedness (CPI – Cyber Preparedness Index).

“Boards of large organisations have started to pay more attention to cyber risk, but there is much more they can do. They need to make sure that they have the right skills and knowledge and treat it as a broader business risk that impacts the organization beyond IT in areas such as new product and service development, and M&A,” said Malcolm Marshall – Partner and Global Head, Cybersecurity, KPMG. For the full article click here
