Social distancing and remote working during COVID-19 have increased cybersecurity risks for companies worldwide, increasing the need for project managers to work on more security-related efforts.
The good news is project managers often excel under pressure and can be highly valuable assets to information security and internal audit teams.
Project managers can work alongside these audit teams to isolate security risks brought about by COVID-19 and implement changes that address emerging threats.
As part of a joint effort with the World Economic Forum's Center for Cybersecurity, KPMG outlines these five principles that project managers and information security experts can implement to help cybersecurity leaders prepare for the new landscape.
Rather than having information security and internal audit working on separate security initiatives, project managers have the skills and knowledge to help these teams combine their efforts to implement effective security measures together.
