Boards of large organizations have started to pay more attention to cyber risk, but there is much more they can do.

Prevention, detection and response to cyber-attacks requires the combined efforts of both the public and private sectors, working to develop new technologies and new approaches, for maintaining real-time protection of their individual networks. Keeping this in mind, KPMG in India the Cyber KARE toolkit was designed for assessment to be performed by senior management and CxOs, and provides a quantitative output depicting an organization’s current positioning with respect to cyber risk exposure (CEI - Cyber Exposure Index) and cyber security preparedness (CPI - Cyber Preparedness Index).
