Cyber security are words that organizations need to become more familiar with. We may hear it in the news from time to time when there’s a hacking incident, but putting your information at risk doesn’t always manifest itself so publicly. Unless you’re fully informed on the security issues within your organization, chances are your information is already at risk.
Take a Cyber Security Snapshot
How do you get fully informed? Thanks to Symantec’s CyberV Risk Calculator, you can obtain an instant snapshot of your current cyber resilience, based on industry best practices and aligned to maturity benchmarks.
But that’s just the start.
Symantec recommends that after identifying your risk, organizations should develop a resilience plan, which outlines the important security incidents and how business will remains effective and up-and-running through them. Any cyber resilience strategy requires a great deal of education. From board to new hire, it’s essential that everyone understands that they play a role in keeping information safe. Ultimately, no organization should wait for an incident to happen to test your processes, procedures and people. Not only should you make sure you have clearly defined life-cycles that reflect changes inbusiness strategy, technology use and culture, but you should also make sure your strategy is current and effective for the business and the risks.
