To Ray Kelly, current vice chair of K2 Intelligence and the longest-serving police commissioner of the New York Police Department, there are four main catastrophic events that can befall a company: terrorism, conventional crime, natural disasters and political instability. And while some of these are more applicable than others in different industries and in different areas of the world, they all have one common thread.
"Virtually every one of these areas involves cyber," Kelly said. "Cyber is interwoven into everything that we do, so if you're hit by a terrorist attack or natural disaster, cyber is going to play a role in some way, shape or form."
Combatting growing cyber risks, Kelly explained, takes a team and a plan. To help with the first stage of the plan — awareness — Kelly will conduct a keynote speech at ALM cyberSecure titled "Security in Today's Hyper Connected Society" on Sept. 27 in New York. The main takeaway from the speech, Kelly recently told Legaltech News, will be that "cyber has to be everyone's concern and everyone's problem."
