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.
