The Information Security Society of African-Nigeria has warned the business community that corporate survival and profitability are now tied to how aggressively organisations defend their digital frontiers against sophisticated cyber threats.
The security advocacy group emphasised that the days of treating digital defence as a background IT issue were over, urging a massive shift toward predictive and automated security strategies during its meeting in Lagos on Tuesday.
“Business sustainability and profitability are increasingly dependent on organisations’ ability to protect information assets, maintain operational resilience, and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited”, the association said in a statement on Wednesday.
It underscored that proactive risk management had transitioned from a compliance luxury to a core pillar of corporate longevity.
