Climate change may not be an issue synonymous with cybersecurity, but there is a growing need for the security sector to recognize and address the impact a changing climate is having. A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stated that there is a 50% chance that, during the next five years, the global average surface temperature will exceed 1.5°C above the preindustrial average for the first time in an individual year.
Climate-related factors such as shifting weather patterns, resource availability, and mass migration could alter the cyberthreats organizations and governments face, introducing new or heightened risks in an already complex landscape.
