ESG indicators aim to measure companies&#8217; performance against environmental, social and governance risks and performance. It is a quantitative way of measuring a company&#8217;s performance on these three pillars.

This trend has been driven by public opinion, growing stakeholder demands, environmental challenges and regulatory requirements. In the very near future some form of external reporting on the cyber resilience of businesses will be required. It is necessary to find the right balance to protect the company that reveals through exposure its vulnerabilities to adverse factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Sustainability &amp; Cybersecurity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Both sustainability and cybersecurity are broad concepts that are constantly relevant and vital to the competitiveness of businesses and economies. Trust in ICT is vital to achieving the United Nations&#8217; Sustainable Development Goals. From a technical, ethical, economic, and legal point of view, trust is vital to business and, in this case, enhances both sustainability and cyber security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00ccff;\"><strong>\u0399mportance of cybersecurity as an ESG factor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dataplex.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/32-640x681.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dataplex.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/32-640x681.png 640w, https:\/\/www.dataplex.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/32-320x340.png 320w, https:\/\/www.dataplex.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/32.png 707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Cloud technology &amp; ESG<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Businesses are prioritizing ESG activities while accelerating their digital transformations through cloud technologies.
