Throughout
this
content
area
we
have
looked
at
how
digital
systems
and
technologies
can
support
organisations
and
the
challenges
that
they
face
.
Many
of
these
challenges
are
based
on
the
risks
involved
.
We
are
now
going
to
look
at
some
of
them
in
greater
depth
.
Security
A
breach
is
to
digital
systems
and
technologies
,
including
.
As
you
have
read
previously
,
this
can
have
a
severe
on
as
data
can
be
,
changed
and
/
or
,
systems
can
stop
functioning
and
businesses
held
to
until
they
pay
the
.
There
are
many
different
security
breaches
that
can
have
an
impact
on
a
business
.
Even
when
businesses
show
due
diligence
by
securing
their
systems
and
ensuring
that
up
-
to
-
date
logical
and
physical
protection
methods
are
in
place
,
there
is
always
a
risk
that
a
breach
can
occur
.
This
can
happen
by
accident
or
by
the
stealth
of
a
cyber
criminal
.
For
example
,
a
distributed
denial
-
of
-
service
(
)
is
a
cyber
attack
inflicted
on
a
business
and
can
be
targeted
at
its
,
network
and
/
or
.
The
target
is
overloaded
by
internet
traffic
with
the
intention
of
causing
the
system
to
crash
as
it
cannot
cope
with
the
vast
amounts
of
traffic
.
This
can
obviously
have
a
severe
impact
on
a
business
,
for
example
customers
cannot
access
the
website
and
therefore
there
can
be
complaints
,
loss
of
customers
and
impact
on
the
overall
business
.

It
is
important
that

the
legal

regulatory
requirements
that
apply
to
their

They
need

System
A
failure
can
mean
any
aspect
of
a
system
such
as
and
/
or
not
functioning
as
intended
.
Depending
on
the
severity
of
the
system
failure
,
it
can
have
severe
for
a
.
For
example
,
a
business
that
is
totally
reliant
on
its
digital
systems
and
technologies
in
order
to
function
would
have
a
catastrophic
effect
on
a
business
.
If
it
cannot
function
,
this
can
have
negative
and
reputational
impacts
and
possibly
the
loss
of
,
which
can
have
legal
implications
.
Depending
on
what
part
of
a
system
fails
,
there
could
also
be
to
human
life
or
injury
.
An
example
would
be
an
automated
process
control
system
in
a
power
plant
.
The
creation
of
nuclear
has
to
be
carefully
controlled
as
the
large
quantities
of
radio
-
active
is
extremely
dangerous
and
has
to
be
monitored
.
If
there
is
a
system
failure
,
this
could
result
in
dangerous
quantities
of
radio
-
active
waste
being
released
into
the
,
with
severe
and
possibly
catastrophic
risk
to
human
life

There
are

for
this
,
which

and
.
When
looking
at
and
the

of
digital

it
is
important
that
organisations
consider
whether

a
of

If

,
they
need
to
consider
what

have

The

whether

risk
of

Businesses
have
to
ensure
that
they

their

that
the

It
is
not
uncommon
for
digital
systems
to
be
infected
with
or
if
they
have
been
downloaded
from
suspicious
sites
.
With
digital

be

but
there
is
usually
not
a
means
to
confirm
that
the
software
has

Therefore
,
customers
may
claim

A
cloud
environment
offers
greater
and
as
well
as
possible
savings
,
but
there
are
.
A
key
risk
is
failing
to
stay
up
to
date
and
falling
behind
.
A
business
needs
to
be
constantly
aware
of
new
cloud
technologies
and
the
benefits
they
offer
,
as
missing
out
on
these
will
give
their
competitors
who
are
using
these
new
technologies
a
competitive
advantage
.
It
can
be
difficult
for
organisations
to
evaluate
cloud
market
as
cloud
providers
tend
to
report
their
cloud
businesses
differently
.
While
there
are
the
wellknown
such
as
Google
,
Microsoft
,
Amazon
and
IBM
,
there
are
other
vendors
appearing
all
the
time
.
Some
organisations
are
linked
to
more
than
one
provider
,
depending
on
the
cloud
service
they
require
,
for
example
(
Infrastructure
as
a
Service
)
,
(
Software
as
a
Service
)
and
(
Platform
as
a
Service
)
.
Some
of
the
larger
vendors
have
expanded
their
services
to
incorporate
all
three
areas
(
as
well
as
other
areas
such
as
hosted
private
,
private
,
public
and
hybrid
cloud
)
.
For
businesses
to
make
informed
decisions
about
which
vendor
or
vendor
(
s
)
to
use
,
they
have
to
think
of
the
of
their
own
systems
and
data
.
They
will
consider
the
?
?
of
the
different
vendors
,
especially
with
respect
to
security
,
as
well
as
the
overall
costs
involved
.
Cloud
provides
will
use
techniques
to
entice
customers
to
their
products
,
which
can
include
offering

for
example

a
vastly
reduced
rate

as

of
how

their

is
in

Education
Changes
in
are
altering
the
dynamics
of
,
especially
between
and
.
The
fastest
trends
are
the
use
of
laptops
,
tablets
and
other
.
Mobile
devices
are
used
as
a
substitute
for
handouts
,
books
,
paper
and
pens
,
and
now
they
are
used
to
change
how
teaching
and
learning
takes
place
.
In
spite
of
these
benefits
,
digital
technology
also
brings
risks
to
the
education
sector
:
As
the
number
of
mobile
devices
used
by
teachers
and
schoolchildren
increases
,
there
is
a
risk
that
the
for
the
school
/
college
will
be
overloaded
,
resulting
in
a
negative
impact
on
the
bandwidth
and
performance
of
the
technology
used
in
the
classroom
.
Security
is
another
area
of
concern
.
There
must
be
strict
in
place
to
prevent
students
either
intentionally
or
inadvertently
accessing
restricted
areas
on
the
school
/
college
network
,
for
example
administration
and
finance
areas
.
Network
managers
must
implement
controls
and
be
able
to
monitor
who
is
accessing
the
network
.
Students
with
access
to
technology
can
when
taking
or
carrying
out
controlled
assignment
work
if
they
have
(
permissible
)
access
to
technology
(
of
course
not
all
exams
will
allow
any
digital
device
)
.
This
can
be
overcome
by
teachers
having
access
to
students
?
screens
and
what
they
are
doing
during
live
assessment
.
Many
education
establishments
(
schools
in
particular
)
prohibit
the
use
of
mobile
phones
within
the
classroom
to
mitigate
the
risks
of
students
continually
accessing
social
media
while
they
should
be
studying
in
lessons

Network

The
and
industries
have
also
become
more
and
more
reliant
on
and
although
this
brings
many
benefits
,
there
are
also
many
risks
involved
that
need
to
be
considered
and
mitigated
against
.
The
increase
in
the
use
of
technology
means
that
these
industries
are
more
to
,
which
can
be
and
extremely
.
For
example
,
as
the
transport
sector
expands
,
its
use
of
technology
to
control
and
monitor
its
operations
increases
and
so
there
is
more
being
transmitted
between
destinations
,
vehicles
,
ships
,
planes
,
trains
,
etc
.
These
are
a
soft
target
,
meaning
they
are
vulnerable
and
easy
prey
for
any
professional
hacker
.
In
May
2021
,
a
cyber
-
attack
shut
down
the
which
provides
gasoline
to
around
half
of
the
east
coast
of
the
USA
.
This
forced
lasted
around
one
week
and
the
company
has
estimated
that
the
attack
cost
them
approximately
$50
million
.
Similarly
,
a
cyber
-
attack
can
put
data
at
risk
.
A
to
sensitive
customer
,
supplier
or
employee
data
can
have
serious
,
and
reputational
impacts
on
the
business
.
In
addition
,
there
is
the
risk
to
critical
which
can
have
major
impacts
.
Consider
critical
IT
systems
that
are
associated
with
,
for
example
a
system
that
is
controlled
by
AI
.
If
there
is
a
sudden
failure
,
there
is
a
potential
risk
of
horrendous
vehicle
accidents
.
Another
example
would
be
that
have
many
digital
systems
and
,
for
example
,
make
available
onboard
the
aircraft
,
which
links
into
the
systems
of
airports
and
air
traffic
control
,
therefore
leaving
a
digital
footprint
.
This
provides
with
the
opportunity
to
hack
into
the
aircraft
?
s
operating
systems
or
to
interfere
with
and
satellites
.
Failures
associated
with
these
systems
could
result
in
a
risk
to
,
damage
to
the
environment
and
/
or
damage
to
property
.
