The Hidden Business Risk Nobody Is Talking About
Cybersecurity risk management, incident response and cyber resilience are under threat from rising hardware costs. Information security and cyber defence budgets are being squeezed as laptop prices rise 25-40%, GPU shortages worsen and CPU costs increase 30-50%.
In this episode of Razorwire Raw, we look at why hardware procurement is becoming a serious security strategy problem for cybersecurity professionals and security leadership. AI hardware demand is permanently competing with enterprise IT budgets, driving organisations towards virtualised desktops and thin clients - each bringing their own risks around data residency, supply chain security and third party risk management.
With BitLocker encryption concerns, unpredictable cloud pricing, Microsoft licensing costs pushing businesses towards Linux and UK data centre power costs among the highest in the world, the implications for information security go well beyond IT procurement.
Security awareness and cybersecurity best practices need to account for this now. The horse has already bolted. But security leaders need to start planning for what their technology estate looks like in the next three to five years.
