Challenges for companies caused by the Ukraine War
How prepared is your organisation?
Many companies are still struggling with the fallout following the Coronavirus crisis and now face an additional test in navigating through the effects of a multidimensional war in Europe.
To support you and your business in dealing with these challenges, we have summarised some areas that should now receive increased attention in your risk assessment and your emergency preparedness work.
There are some key areas that now demand increased attention in your risk assessment:
INCREASED RISK OF CYBER ATTACKS
New threat assessments from official security authorities, the Police and the Armed Forces show a strong increase in incidents of digital blackmail and sabotage that affect a wide range, both in the private and public sector. IT is intrinsic to the running of a business and therefore, IT security must have the highest priority.
Some key questions:
- Have you established an external solution for notification and crisis management?
- Do you have alert lists and predefined messages for handling cyber incidents?
- Have you secured backup offline, along with routines to ensure that it is not compromised?
- How do you ensure a secure flow of information to and from employees in critical situations?
- Do you have routines and tools for reporting adverse events (phishing, ransomware, etc)?
- Have you established solutions for alternative operations?
EMPLOYEE SECURITY
Employees with connections to the conflict areas can be affected directly or indirectly through the involvement of relatives and / or friends. This can create new setbacks, but also make employees more vulnerable to extortion and kidnappings. Employees of subcontractors may also be affected.
Some key questions:
- Do you have routines and tools to keep track of employees when traveling?
- Do you have routines and tools for notifying employees in critical situations?
- How do you ensure a secure flow of information to and from employees in critical situations?
- Do you have routines and tools for reporting unwanted incidents (extortion, etc)?
DISRUPTION TO SUPPLY CHAIN
The supply chains have become very complex, and often a small problem is enough to paralyse production. Your business can be strategically vital to your customers, in the same way that your subcontractors are important to you.
Some key questions:
- Have you established an external solution for notifying suppliers and customers, as well as crisis management?
- Do you have alert lists and predefined messages for handling unwanted incidents?
- How to ensure secure information flow to and from subcontractors and customers in critical situations
- Do you have routines and tools for reporting adverse events from subcontractors and to customer?
