Given the 30% increase in cybersecurity attacks in the past year alone, it's crucial for companies to consider how they can protect themselves. A recent cybersecurity exercise conducted by the Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law highlights the risks of relying on a single IT vendor. Agencies that depended on a single vendor experienced higher rates of penetration and more severe damage, while those with a diversified technology base faced significantly less impact. This stark contrast emphasizes the importance of having a diverse IT environment to mitigate the risk of severe damage from attacks.   We strongly recommend vendor diversification to better safeguard against cyber threats. MeasuredRisk can assist organizations in finding highly-resilient alternative suppliers to help secure your IT infrastructure. By leveraging our expertise, businesses can protect their operations and maintain continuity, even amidst cyber threats.   #RiskManagement #ITSecurity #CyberSecurity

In today's complex and interconnected global marketplace, supply chain vulnerabilities pose significant threats to businesses, particularly those in the food and beverage industry. According to a recent report from WTW, supply chain and infrastructure risk will be one of the largest threats to F&B businesses over the next 3-5 years. This comes as no surprise, as 73% of senior decision-makers at F&B companies reported that losses related to the supply chain have been higher or much higher than expected over the last 2 years.   The food and beverage sector, with its intricate web of suppliers and distributors, is particularly susceptible to supply chain disruptions that can halt operations and impact the bottom line. The ripple effect of a single disruption can be far-reaching, affecting everything from production schedules to customer satisfaction.   At MeasuredRisk, we are dedicated to helping businesses in the food and beverage industry navigate these challenges. By providing tailored risk management solutions, we equip companies with the resources to select reliable and long-lasting suppliers and distributors, ensuring business continuity.   #SupplyChain  #RiskManagement #foodandbeverage #foodindustry #beverageindustry
