October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month – What’s your plan?
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.
