Flavio Aggio, CISO at the World Health Organization, has had a challenging year.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO has become a significant target for cybercriminals, and cyber attacks against the organization have skyrocketed.

Prior to joining the World Health Organization, I was the CTO at the City and County of San Francisco, where I developed technology solutions to modernize and protect the city.

Cybersecurity collaboration with related organizations increased dramatically due to the increase in the number and complexity of cyberattacks.

By having a cybersecurity awareness campaign with constant phishing exercises, any organization can prepare themselves to deal with this type of attack as any preventive technology can be bypassed eventually.

It is essential for organizations to adopt a holistic approach by including people, process, and technology in their cybersecurity programs.
