Companies are now investing in an overall enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. It is being observed that, there is a growing risk to data worldwide. The reason is no more simply cyber-attacks but others too. These include new threats emerging from global warming, geopolitics and changing regulatory frameworks on data protection.

Do we remember how vaccine culture data was stolen through phishing mechanisms, right under the nose of the Oxford University last month? It was the job of a sophisticated hacking company that was hired by Russia governmental agencies to carry out the cyber attack.

“As an insurer, we are seeing that the entire fabric or risk is completely changing,” Sandeep Goradia, Head, Corporate Solutions Group, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co.

Goradia threw light on the fact that India faces huge risks against environmental led natural disasters. The time is near when regulations similar to the European Union’s GDPR, (Global Data Protection Regulations) will soon come in India. They will indeed have a far-reaching impact on those who store and share data. Companies breaching data protection norms could face huge financial penalties once the regulations come about.

 

Others things which are to be accounted for is human error and fidelity. Staff are handling huge amounts of customer data today. The safety of data therefore in this context is a huge challenge too. Further, there are challenges faced by technological advancements like automation, robotisation and digitalization.
