Driving growth and differential performance among Class I railroadsDeloitte United States
Building a precision-scheduled railroad generated substantial benefit for Class I railroads and their shareholders when compared to their prior performance. However, with nearly all railroads pursuing the same strategy, we see differential performance among the Class I railroads driven primarily by changes in industrial production rather than strategic choices by management and Boards of Directors. Breaking away from the narrow range of industry peer performance will likely require more deliberate choices about the scope of operations and services that offer good prospects for returns on capital. Railroad executives should shift attention from operations to the configuration of commercial functions to help realize distinct competitive advantages and improved shareholder returns.

Insuring your future: Cybersecurity and the insurance industryAccenture Insurance
How are insurance companies faring when it comes to protecting their assets and their customers from fraud, malware, cyber attacks and a host of other security breaches? The question is important. Insurance companies hold a vast amount of data
including personally identifiable information, personal health information, credit card and bank account data, and trade secrets (their own and sometimes their clients’). Insurers
have a very distributed model for servicing, increasing the risk across the value chain. Aging legacy systems complicate matters even more.
The document discusses how investing more in cybersecurity does not necessarily lead to better outcomes. While 99% of organizations have a security risk management strategy, those that are confident in their strategy (42%) significantly outperform those that are not (57%) in key business metrics like costs, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The document advocates for focusing on a risk management strategy that is business-driven and updated regularly rather than excessive spending on cybersecurity, in order to free up resources for digital transformation initiatives. It provides perspectives from IT professionals on challenges with visibility, staying current on threats, and needing a framework to guide decisions.
Retail companies face cybersecurity challenges from connected environments, broader ecosystems, and expanded data use. The document discusses three key factors that can help tackle cyberattacks: constant vigilance against an evolving threat landscape, outsourcing more security functions due to digital transformations, and empowering CISOs with executive access and business insight. While retailers recognize the need to improve basic security functions, prioritizing protection, partnering proactively, and evolving the CISO role are important steps to achieving cyber resilience.
Cyber-security is the number one technology issue in the C-suite and Board Room. No wonder that many senior executives are asking what they can be doing to stem the tide of cyber-attacks on their firms.
The Currency of Trust: Why Banks and Insurers Must Make Customer Data Safer a...Capgemini
Are banks and insurers a safe pair of hands when it comes to customer data? Our global survey of more than 180 senior data privacy and security professionals – as well as 7,600 consumers – found that less than a third (29%) of these organizations offer both strong data privacy practices and a sound security strategy. Just one in five (21%) are highly confident that they can detect a cybersecurity breach.
This picture has so far not unduly affected consumers’ perceptions of the industry. We found that 83% of consumers trust banks and insurers when it comes to data. And while one in four institutions have reported being victim of a hack, just 3% of consumers believe their own bank or insurer has ever been breached. However, with the pending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations, this trust factor is likely to change as transparency increases. Financial organizations have to reveal a data breach 72 hours after the incident.
Banks and insurance firms have a clear incentive therefore to fortify their defences. As well as avoiding the prohibitive fines and penalties that will result from compromised data, protecting privacy offers a strategic business advantage. Addressing security concerns will drive greater adoption of low-cost digital channels. We found that security concerns deter nearly half of consumers (47%) from using digital channels. It will also reduce churn and attract competitors’ customers – 74% of consumers would switch their bank or insurer in the event of a data breach.
Preparing to be a trusted data steward is no easy task, however. It means raising the bar on multiple dimensions:
• Aligning data practices with consumers’ expectations
• Finding innovative ways of providing non-intrusive security to consumers
• Building the capabilities required to monitor cyber risks on a real-time basis
• Revisiting the data governance model.
Building your reputation for data privacy and robust security is definitely challenging. But, those who strike the right chord with consumers will enjoy a competitive advantage over their peers. The winners will be those who triumph in the trust game.

7th ERM - S2 - Cyber security, Cyber Risk and Data Privacy - Kalpesh Doshi (1...TraintechTde
Cyber security risks are increasing and pose serious threats. The document discusses several alarming cyber attack statistics experienced by India and globally in recent years. It also outlines specific risks to the financial sector, including theft of funds, legal/regulatory issues, and loss of customer trust from cyber attacks. Effective cyber security requires organizations to be vigilant, adaptable, and have robust risk management practices in place.
This document discusses managing information and technology risk in a changing business environment. It argues that managing risk is now vital to maximizing commercial potential and protecting brands and reputations from cyber threats. However, security strategies must be flexible to adapt to new technologies and business models. Effective risk management requires assessing realistic threats, prioritizing risks, and presenting risks in a business context. It also requires accounting for changing business dynamics and integrating risk management across the organization rather than taking a siloed approach.
Cyber-criminals are assaulting every part of the enterprise. But not all cyber-attacks are created equal. In the minds of senior executives, the greatest danger of cyber-attacks is damage to the reputation of the firm with its customers.
EMEA: Using Security Metrics to Drive Action - 22 Experts Share How to Commun...Mighty Guides, Inc.
The document discusses strategies and metrics for communicating security program effectiveness to business executives and boards. It includes perspectives from several CISOs and security leaders in Europe and the Middle East on how they would answer a CEO's question about how secure the organization is. One expert notes they would avoid hard metrics and focus on a risk-based conversation. Another emphasizes maturity statistics relative to industry peers to show security expenditures provide the right level of protection. A third recommends presenting metrics as percentages of progress rather than raw numbers to provide understandable context for executives.
In January-February 2016, the EIU, surveyed 1,100 senior executives on data security practices within their firms. The survey’s primary objective was to analyse the differences, if any, between the C-suite and senior IT executives on data security.
The survey sample was recruited from companies with between $500 million and $10 billion in revenues, and is equally representative of the Americas, Asia-Pacific and European regions. The panel came from 20 industries, with no single industry accounting for more than 14% of the total.
This was a survey of senior executives. The C-suite segment, sometimes referred to herein as senior management or corporate leadership, consisted exclusively of C-suite executives (eg CEOs, CFO, COOs). The security segment, sometimes referred to herein as the security executives, consisted of the CIO and those who identified themselves as Chief Data Officers or Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs).
Each panel was asked an identical set of 20 questions, and the results have been reviewed for insight and commentary by a panel of independent experts.
The State of Cyber Defense Report by Kroll - CY 2023Ryan Frunnile
The State of Cyber Defense Report by Kroll - CY 2023
With cyber threats increasing in number and sophistication,
organizations are using multiple cybersecurity platforms, ingesting threat
intelligence from various sources, leveraging the cloud at a massive scale,
and outsourcing key services.
To navigate this landscape, trust is imperative. There needs to be trust
in teams, trust in technology, trust in intelligence sources and trust with
suppliers or third-party providers. The degree in which businesses trust
their technology can have wide-ranging impacts on how effectively
organizations deal with cybersecurity challenges. Further, where trust
is lacking, there are far-reaching consequences for cyber resilience.
We found that while cyber security was named as the topmost future tech adoption for organizations in 2019, cyber security is now the second tech priority for 2021 but with a higher budget than previously allocated. We also discovered that cloud security currently holds more importance with CISOs, CTOs and CIOs than data security and privacy.
Organizations are improving cyber resilience and showing they can perform better under greater pressure as the number of targeted attacks more than doubles.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
