How Burgess is building a better working world

”The digital age and the inherent connectivity of people, devices and organizations have opened up a whole new playing field of cyber vulnerabilities.

In this scenario, EY teams help organizations sense, resist and react to such cyber threats, helping them secure their businesses. This, I believe, is how I make my contribution toward building a better working word.”
