Cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in extracting and protecting equity in investments. In a recent survey, only 36% of firms felt that they had adequate time and resources to assess the cyber risk of an investment property, and not surprisingly, 65% of those firms expressed buyer’s remorse due to cybersecurity issues.1
Cyber risks have demonstrated the ability to impact deal value and execution. The most obvious incidents include:
Even perceived risk, foreign ownership or bipartisan ideological association can impact deal value. For example, TikTok was the focus of US government interest given its foreign ownership by China.
Cybersecurity breaches and threats are pervasive concerns for any entity storing valuable data or managing large sums of money. Private investment funds are no exception. Attackers recognize that portfolio companies are growth-focused and are often secured with lean, less mature cyber operations. Private equity firms also have detailed disclosure requirements to abide by, making it easy for attackers to find these valuable targets.
Sophisticated attackers perform complex reconnaissance on private equity firms and their portfolio companies in order to obtain stolen/hijacked/poorly secured firm documents and harvest key employee credentials. They understand operational details, the names of key employees, and once they are embedded, they can hijack relationships, intercept emails, and even initiate wire transfers to steal millions of dollars.
Breaches can and will impact deal execution, deal value, integration, and put reputations and future deals at risk. In fact, the public nature of private equity work paints a target on both the buyer and seller.
CIOs at private equity firms are hampered by limited visibility into and the inconsistency of the overall security operations across their portfolio companies. eSentire has put together a comprehensive Private Equity Cyber Risk Checklist to narrow your focus on what is most important to consider as you look to mature your firm’s overall cyber ecosystem. At a minimum, private equity leaders should conduct the following assessments and require standardization across their portfolio companies:
We are recognized globally as the Authority in Managed Detection and Response because we hunt, investigate and stop known and unknown cyber threats before they become business disrupting events.
