Earlier this week, we looked at what it takes to create an effective cyber security protection strategy, and what the common roadblocks are facing companies when it comes to cyber security. Now we will look at what can be done about all of this. Experts claim that an organizations’ cyber security response falls into three particular stages; activating, adapting, and anticipating. The goal throughout these stages is for organizations to implement increasingly advanced cyber-security measures.
What does it mean for a company to “activate” their cyber-security strategy? IT involves developing an inclusive set of information security measures that will provide basic defense against cyber attacks. It’s no secret that companies change. They may make changes to survive the economy, or to grow with it.
With this change comes new threats; therefore cyber security professionals mush adapt to keep up with the pace and match the changing business requirements and dynamics. Otherwise, they will start to become less effective when it comes to their security measures. Therefore, adaptation is necessary.
Organizations today need to understand what it is they need to protect their systems, and should work on practicing appropriate responses to potential cyber incidents. Understanding these factors will give your clients the ability to handle predictable threats and unexpected attacks; in other words they will be able to anticipate cyber security issues.
