CISO Report Finds Cyber Risk Has Moved Directly Into Daily Workflows

Recent data reveals cybersecurity threats have shifted directly into the internal systems and daily workflows where staff complete their work. Key priorities including operational resilience, artificial intelligence governance, human risk, and board scrutiny are now converging inside day-to-day collaboration tools. Small and mid-sized businesses must recognize that managing risk requires securing internal software and user behaviour, not just outside perimeters.
