Sectors
Travel & Transport
The travel and transport sector is the biggest in the world, accounting for a trillion dollars of annual revenue. It is also one of the most vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity measures in this industry are still at a nascent stage, especially considering that its enormous success is derived from digitalization and automation.
The travel and transport sector is comprised of airlines, hotels, rail companies, bus fleets and other related industries. A major cyber incident can lead to personal injury or death as well as financial loss for the industry’s customers.
Telecommunications
The telecommunications sector is an attractive target for cyber attackers because of the critical nature of the systems that are used in the sector. The focus by hackers in the telecom sector is to gain access to networks, infrastructure, applications, and services where they could potentially control network traffic or use it as a platform for launching further attacks.
Small Businesses
Small businesses are more vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks than large corporations because many small businesses lack the security measures, resources, and budget to deal with such incidents. In the last 12 months, we have seen an alarming rise in the number of cyber-attacks on small businesses. The consequences are grave as many small businesses don’t have the financial resources to recover from these security incidents and may close down or even fall prey to embezzlement of funds.
Retail & E-commerce
E-commerce websites are prone to cyber attacks and data breaches. Compliance with PCI/DSS can be a daunting task for small and mid-sized businesses. We help you build robust security protocols, comprehensively audit your systems, train your employees to follow secure practices, and respond quickly in the event of a breach.
Restaurants & Hotels
Because they gather, store, and process such sensitive information, the hospitality industry is a frequent target of data thieves. According to the European law that came into force on 25 May 2018, operators are obliged to inform their customers about their personal data protection policies. In the hospitality sector, it’s critical to ensure the safety of your systems and data. As a business owner, you need to constantly stay up-to-date on the latest cybersecurity threats and trends so that you can minimize your risk and keep your organization protected. Awareness is where it all begins.
Research Think Tank
Cyber threats to national research and data – Strategic national data or organizations that manage this data are also at risk from cyber security threats.. The data that is generated by the national research community, government agencies, and businesses are valuable to the country. It is used for conducting research, policy development, and service delivery. There is growing recognition of the importance of cyber security to protect this data from potential threats such as those posed by criminals, terrorists or foreign intelligence services.
Cybersecurity threats to national data and research activities are becoming more sophisticated. The increasing interconnectivity of data, devices, and applications is providing fertile ground for criminal activity.
Power/Energy/Utilities
As the world becomes more connected and complex, the threat of a cyber-attack, to disrupt our critical infrastructure has become one of the biggest concerns for modern nation-states. Such an incident will have devastating consequences – affecting millions of people and creating significant economic damage. To combat these threats, governments need to focus on countering such attacks through a combination of several different strategies that include both offensive and defensive measures.
Personal/Home User
Cybersecurity is a huge issue in today’s workplace. Employees are often working from home, and because they are not under direct supervision, they can be more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Moreover, many employees use their personal devices at work without getting adequate security training to lower the risk of being hacked.
Cybersecurity and remote working can be a difficult combination. If you work from home, your computer is often used to access corporate networks. This increases the risk of cyber-attacks because home PCs are often not adequately secured and monitored by IT teams.
Non-profit/Association
With the rising number of cyber-attacks, both charities and non-profit organisations are at risk. Cyber criminals may target these organisations more than others due to the high value of data they hold. It is essential that charities and non-profit organisations adopt effective measures to protect themselves from cyber threats.
Media/Entertainment
Cyberattacks in the media and entertainment industry are a direct threat to the survival of these companies. Cybercriminals can use malware, phishing emails, RATs, keyloggers and exploit kits to carry out cyber attacks on social media, search engines and news outlets.
These attacks are a growing trend across the world. This increase in cyberattacks has led to an increased awareness of information security and privacy among customers in this sector.
It has become a routine affair. The recent cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment is the latest example of how vulnerable the entertainment industry has become.
Manufacturing/FMCG

The United Nations is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and achievement of world peace. It was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries and to provide a platform for dialogue. It has since played a central role in the development of multilateralism governing such matters as international security, economic development and human rights.
Adequate cybersecurity protection for organisations like UN, and WHO is vital to fulfil their functions.
Insurance
The cybersecurity insurance market is growing at a rapid pace, with the market expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2021 and grow at a CAGR of 14%. Cybersecurity insurance covers costs incurred due to cyber-attacks on the insurer’s information technology (IT) systems or those of its insureds. Insurance against cyber-attacks and insurance for cyber-security are essential components of a successful business plan.

Elections
Following the presidential election of 2016, there are significant concerns from both government and private organizations on how to secure the electoral system. Cybersecurity is a major reason for concern, as state actors have become increasingly sophisticated in their attacks against elections infrastructure. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has published a set of baseline security controls that all 50 states should consider when securing their systems.
The threat to the electoral system from state actors has been proven.
