<p>With the continuously growing cyber threats and attacks, managing cyber security risks and incidents is becoming an increasing challenge for enterprises operating in global digital environments. Cyber risk management is about managing the effects of uncertainty on organizational objectives in a way that makes the most effective and efficient use of limited resources. The unit will address designing a framework of risk management processes that ensure engagement by key stakeholders, aligning risk management to organizational goals and objectives, and setting up policies, procedures, and guidance throughout the enterprise. The unit will further look into the impact of cyber risk on society and ethical issues.</p>
