Starlinks Global Ltd, a promising scaleup business disrupting the logistics industry with innovative technology, was experiencing growing pains. Their focus on rapid development meant cybersecurity hadn't received the necessary attention it required and a lack of clarity on its exposure to cyber risk left the business vulnerable to the unknown.
