Businesses, brands, CEOs and executives must be ready for rapid and agile response at any time, (the so-called \u201cGolden hour\u201d no longer exists) and with a target impact that has no boundaries. This socio-digital context has led us to hyper-connectivity and hyper-vulnerability. A world in permanent connectivity that allows fluent communication and immediate feedback. Hyper-connectivity develops in cyberspace and we live in totally dynamic environments and circumstances, where many crises first come to light in the social networks. These in turn make us much more vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, citizens are empowered by the ease with which they can spread and make viral any type of content, in a life where the lines of where \u201conline and life\u201d begin and end are rather blurred.

In our relations with the media, this forces us to be more proactive, open and honest. We must also take account of cyber threats, which make the future rather uncertain through breaches in data protection, and cyber crime, with all sorts of digital crimes. Both these phenomena are growing in importance as they become more widespread and potentially more disruptive, as mentioned in the latest <em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.com\/content\/dam\/mmc-web\/Global-Risk-Center\/Files\/the-global-risks-report-2018-es.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Risks Report 2018 of the World Economic Forum<\/a><\/u><\/em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.com\/content\/dam\/mmc-web\/Global-Risk-Center\/Files\/the-global-risks-report-2018-es.pdf\">. <\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that among the top 5 global risks by probability this year, cyberattacks rank third and data theft or fraud, fourth, both having a direct impact on companies\u2019 transparency levels.<strong> The rapid growth of misinformation, fake news and rumors forces us to monitor news constantly and make sure we are able to react swiftly to any<\/strong> <strong>lies, biased information or half-truths<\/strong>. \u201c<em>We have access to such a large volume of information that we are unable to digest the details when thousands of fresh news items replace those the networks just provided.
