Wilful Neglect - Will Your Risk Register Destroy Your Business?
Why ignoring known cyber risks could lead to catastrophic consequences. Wilful neglect of cyber risks poses a serious threat to organisations. It can lead to regulatory fines, civil litigation, and even personal liability for executives if conscious inaction is identified. Despite these dangers, many risk registers remain filled with long- known, unaddressed risks that exceed the organisation’s stated appetite. After incidents occur, explanations often cite resource constraints, business disruption, or complexity, but rarely acknowledge the psychological and emotional factors that drive inaction.
