Les défis de la cybersécurité

Business on April 25th, 2014

La cyber-menace est en voie de prendre des dimensions systémiques pour l'économie mondiale. L'inquiétude des acteurs monte, au point que l'on peut craindre une réaction globale contre la numérisation, avec un énorme impact économique. Pourtant, les avancées en matière de cloud computing et de Big data pourraient, selon McKinsey, créer entre 9600 et 21600 milliards de dollars de valeur pour l'économie mondiale. Si la sophistication des attaques submerge les capacités défensives des États et des organisations, on peut redouter des règlementations et des politiques qui ralentiraient l'innovation et la croissance.

Notwithstanding progress in cloud computing and big data with, according to McKinsey, a generated annual income of between 9,600 and 21,600 billion dollars in the global economy. If the sophistication of cyber-attacks were to submerge the defensive capacity of States and organizations, we could fear more stringent regulations and policies that would in fact slow down innovation and growth.
