The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland wrapped up last week, with cybersecurity again assuming a significant role in many of the conversations there, both public and private. The WEF has wisely taken up the issue of cybersecurity because it is relevant to economic growth. Indeed, as stated in the excellent WEF 2014 report from McKinsey & Company, Risk and Responsibility in a Hyperconnected World, effective cybersecurity could foster the growth of over $9 trillion in economic value. Unfortunately, the converse is also true. Cybersecurity problems can inhibit growth. With that kind of money on the table, serious discussion is more than warranted. It?s absolutely essential.
