Abstract
In the realm of cybersecurity, an important concept for every leader to understand is that of Digital Crown Jewels ('DCJs'). These are your organization's most precious digital assets, consisting of the data you possess, process, and pass on that allows you to deliver on your strategy. This might include customer records, purchasing histories, employee records, finances and intellectual property information about proprietary products and services. DCJs also include an organization's data processing environment (DPE): how data flows through the organization and the processes by which the firm and its agents access and manipulate data. The challenge is this: the list of actors who pose a threat to the integrity of a firm's DPE is long and growing. The authors provide guidelines for protecting your DCJs in three categories: preventable risks, strategic risks and external risks. They end with a warning: act now, because the potential cost of failing to act is far too great.
