Analysis
Asahi Group's net profit fell over 36% last year, largely from disruption caused by a cyberattack. It lays bare that security incidents are not an IT nuisance but an operational disaster that can wipe out a third of profit-when systems freeze, orders, shipping and production stall by the day. Cybersecurity is now a core governance risk.
