Just as hope is not a strategy, ignorance is not a plan. Cybersecurity planning starts with a review of your cybersecurity goals, requirements and obligations. Add an assessment of risk plus technical and social vulnerabilities and this will lead you to a robust strategy for improving your security posture. Information Security is not a one-and-done project; it requires constant monitoring, awareness and reassessment.

Make sure that you have an assessment and strategy related to these eight areas and a program to evaluate them on an ongoing basis:

Antivirus/Anti Malware

Patch and Update Management

Web Protection

Email Protection

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Employee Awareness Training

Compliance with appropriate security frameworks

Policies and Procedures

Every day in the news, we’re reading about a new threat or breach. While this will continue to be the case, having a plan for improving your security profile will allow you to sleep better at night. When you’re looking for a partner to help you get started, or evaluate how your secure journey is going, turn to The Walker Group.
