Neglecting to brush your teeth before leaving for work can set the mood for the day, while leaving your phone or laptop behind could wreak complete havoc. Like getting ready each morning, many components must come together to protect organizations from online threats, such as firewalls and backup recovery.
But understanding what each service does may not be obvious until a cyber incident occurs. If you’re not adequately prepared, surviving a threat could feel as awkward as living the classic nightmare of forgetting to put on pants that morning.
Cyber-defense structure
Cybersecurity governance is a framework for business that organizes the responsibilities of cybersecurity strategies, which helps align them with goals and regulations. To keep your organization or business running smoothly, the pictured chart shows how to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover with just a few services listed as examples.
Although some services overlap in different ways, they all serve different purposes. More than one service is needed to help with cybersecurity and prevent as many cyber incidents as possible.
Lead effectively
Since governance is about delegating, your business or organization benefits from clear communication and easy-to-understand roles. Because of this, there is no one-size-fits-all model and the cybersecurity services you choose should match your organization’s objectives.
Good governance also accounts for the complexity and uncertainty of modern systems. Instead of rigid checklists, it relies on targeted strategies and continuous improvement in cybersecurity. It even accounts for well-defined escalation paths for issues that may arise, keeping you on top of your goals.
