The Convergence of Cybersecurity and ESG
High-profile data breaches and accelerated digitization have repositioned cybersecurity as critical to corporate sustainability. Stakeholders now demand cyber resilience within Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, especially in finance, energy, and utilities sectors. This integration directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 9 for resilient infrastructure.
