In a digital world where consumers expect businesses to be transparent about who they are and what they stand for, companies that send mixed messages make it difficult for consumers to connect with their brands.

I have a fun idea. If I were to (safely) drop you out of a helicopter and into an uninhabited territory, and you were left alone to find your way home using the sun and stars as your guide, would you go? Unless you have a map or the survival skills of Bear Grylls , I’m guessing your answer is probably a big fat N-O. Which is definitely smart; traveling without a guide into a foreign territory isn’t wise or safe unless you’re experienced.

Cyber attacks are de rigueur these days. Respondents to a recent survey of IT professionals reported an average of 40 cyber attacks per year. The price tag of these attacks is staggering. The same study reports an average cost of $1.2 million —and financial costs are not the only consequences. One-third of survey respondents claimed their company lost intellectual property due to a cyber attack and 36% of them believe the attack reduced their competitive advantage.
