Secure M&A Process using Business Software
One of the biggest hurdles of any M&A is onboarding a large number of new employees and getting them up and running with minimal disruption. Ineffective onboarding can result in a drop in productivity and a high rate of turnover following an M&A.
During the M&A process, IT teams must integrate users from both systems in a streamlined manner without creating security holes and compromising the integrity of data of the acquired company. Onboarding acquired workers using their own devices, or third-party apps like cloud-based and social media services is a challenge.
Cybersecurity professionals must tackle these challenges by integrating themselves into M&A processes from the beginning, and ensuring they are aware of all moving components. This includes the post-merger integration stage as well as due diligence assessments. It is crucial for CISOs to approach M&A with a servant’s mindset and communicate cybersecurity risks in a way that executives can comprehend. This involves not using technical jargon or using metrics that executives can understand the impact on their finances or reputational damage.
