The third book in the Global Risk Series is dedicated to IT and Cyber Risks.
Rapidly changing and advanced technologies are making it increasingly difficult for companies and governments to manage and secure confidential data.


According to the 2014 Global Risk report compiled by the World Economic forum, the technological risks of cyber attacks, data fraud/theft and critical information infrastructure breakdown are strongly connected to each other and to risks such as terrorist attacks and global governance failure.


Fresh thinking at all levels on how to preserve, protect and govern the common good of a trusted cyberspace must be developed.
