Senior business leaders should commit to addressing cyber risks, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Workforces must be \u201cdigitally empowered\u201d. For example they should be retrained to use the latest hardware and software and comfortably adapt to changing ways of working.<\/p>\n<p>Firms should invest in software systems that constantly update and can adapt to what the business needs, the CBI and Oracle said.<\/p>\n<p>Felicity Burch, CBI director of digital and innovation, said: \u201cNo business can rest on its laurels when it comes to technology.
