Cybersecurity is a ‘wicked problem’ with a significant level of complexity, that refuses to go away, and where some stakeholders (directly or indirectly) resist its resolution for individual interests. As with most problems of this nature, wishing it away or paying inadequate attention, only makes it persist. It will take deliberate efforts from all stakeholders; individuals, businesses, organizations and governments to resist and reduce the risk of cybersecurity threats.
The role of a good and mature cybersecurity posture for success in the digital age cannot be overemphasized. Every organization needs to stay ahead of cybersecurity threats, to protect itself from, respond to, and recover from a cyber-attack, data breach or service outage. Everyone in the organization has a role to play, but the ultimate accountability to the shareholders is with the board. This article provides expert guidance on what every Board must know (and do) to assure shareholders that they are proactive about cybersecurity risk.
The phrase cyber resilience has become popular of recent and all for good reason. With the increase in the sophistication of cybercriminals it has become apparent that being prepared to respond and resolve a cybersecurity breach is equally as (if not more) important than preparing to prevent one. This article provides some insights with examples of why there needs to be a shifting away from investing hugely in preventative controls to the detriment of corrective controls. We also explain the role of the Board and Executive teams can take to support cohesive and well-coordinated corrective actions in the event of a cybersecurity breach.
Most organizations agree that people are their greatest asset. This is also true when it comes to cybersecurity. However, people have been the villains, in stories told by cybersecurity professionals, for valid reasons. Notwithstanding, our experience tells us that with a deliberate, robust, and consistent security awareness programme, our clients can cultivate an organizational culture that integrates cybersecurity good practices.
In the last two decades, there has been so much information published about the broad domain of Cybersecurity. While some of that have been good and factual (at the time), there is a lot of information still out there that is either stale or false. Delve in to discover more.
Industry standards exist to establish good standards and regulations for organizations across multiple industries. The two most popular security standards are the NIST Framework (popular in the United States) and the ISO27001 Standard which is of global repute. However, experience tells us that for some businesses compliance to these standards become a ‘compliance badge of honour’ rather than a framework for establishing practices that reduce cybersecurity risk.
