Together, they discuss the concept of ‘cyber risks’ and reveal why these have become an indispensable topic in every boardroom today.

But that’s not all. They also delve into the challenges faced by SME entrepreneurs as they try to put cybersecurity on the agenda amid all their existing obligations.

Awareness Among SMEs

Matthijs emphasizes the importance of cyber risk management. He explains that while many SMEs are aware of the threats posed by cyber attacks, they often lack the necessary expertise to adequately address these threats. MMOX Smart has therefore specialized in offering solutions and services to help clients effectively manage their cyber risks.

Additionally, Matthijs stresses the importance of cyber risk management for SMEs. He explains that although these companies are aware of cyber threats, they often lack the necessary expertise to adequately address these threats. MMOX Smart offers solutions and services to help clients manage their cyber risks. They map out threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts to enable clients to act proactively and protect themselves against cyber attacks based on real data.

Awareness

The conversation continues about the growing awareness in boardrooms about the crucial importance of cyber risk management. The European government is introducing legislation to encourage this. The role of cybersecurity experts has evolved, and understanding risks in a broader context is now essential. Matthijs shares an example illustrating the understanding of cyber risks in the boardroom. The conversation between different stakeholders in a company reveals various perspectives on the most important business process that must always keep running. This emphasizes the importance of understanding and awareness of cyber risks throughout the entire organization.

The Entire Chain

This is important not only within the organization itself but also throughout the entire chain. Matthijs emphasizes that companies should not only look at their own cyber risks but also at those of their suppliers and customers, as they often operate in complex chains. A weak link can affect the entire chain.

In summary, the podcast with Matthijs Blokker from MMOX Smart and the CCRC offers valuable insights into the field of cyber risk management and the importance of awareness. Moreover, both parties, MOXX Smart and the CCRC, underscore the importance of their role as conversation partners in promoting this awareness.
