The Corona virus has provided for challenging times, impacting businesses globally. It is very likely IT security is no longer a top priority for companies, when the only outlook is surviving the current crisis. Of course, companies are handling things to the best of their ability. The current situation reminds me of 2009, when the world was battling the swine flu pandemic. In hindsight, that flu was comparable to the seasonal flu. It looks like the Corona virus is completely different, with far more severe consequences. We are now faced with the same review, and the comparisons are striking.
I recently visited the Risk and Resilience Festival at the University of Twente. One of the keynote speakers was Maarten van Aalst, Director of the international Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and professor at the University of Twente. He told a story about Bangladesh and how the frequent flooding lead to increasing numbers of casualties. It was too simple, he said, to blame climate change. A much bigger impact was the increasing population. The more people there are living in the Ganges Delta, the bigger the exposure. It reminded me of the fact that exposure is often something we can influence.
The world is driven by risk assessments. Crossing the street, ordering some gadget online or lying to your boss… It’s all risk assessment. Doing business is no different, but there is more to life than risk alone. What about ethics?
