What Is Cybersecurity Readiness?

Cybersecurity preparedness is described as the ability to identify and respond successfully to computer security breaches and malicious activity, malware attacks, phishing, and data and intellectual property theft from both within the network as well as the external world. A speedier detection mechanism would minimise the amount of damage caused by an intrusion and reduce the expense of recovering from that breach. Understanding typical network activities and detecting when network operations deviate from a normal definition or baseline of activity is a critical component of cybersecurity readiness.

A cybersecurity readiness plan outlines and explains the key goals that businesses must accomplish to be considered cybersecurity ready. While not extensive, these objectives are the bare minimum necessary to provide an enterprise with an acceptable level of cybersecurity awareness and a focus on protecting vital and valuable data assets.

Why Should Organisations Have A Cybersecurity Readiness Plan?

To globalise their operations, businesses saw digital transformation as the cornerstone and began spending substantially on digital infrastructure. Though this helped enterprises in increasing revenues, it also resulted in significant losses owing to a lack of a well-designed method to protect digital assets from cyber threats.

With increasingly growing attacks and new attack tactics, companies are in a constant state of the breach and must confront this grave challenge straight on. Cybersecurity readiness is an important and specialized skill. Enterprises must be prepared to respond to security breaches and cyberattacks. A strong cybersecurity readiness management strategy involves targeted, aggressive prevention that can safeguard a brand's reputation, services, and financial position.

Objectives Of Cybersecurity Readiness

A risk management plan that identifies critical people business processes information and technology and understands the risk environment that poses threat to these critical assets.
Strategies policies practices and technology designed to enable proper access to data resources and an awareness of how and by whom those resources are utilised.
The ability to see and comprehend what information is coming in out and through the network and determine if that information flow is required unrequired appropriate or inappropriate.
A properly monitored software update process change management inventory control and internal assessment.
An effective response to security incidents that reduces the scale of damage caused and lowers the time and cost of recovery.

Simple Steps That Can Go A Long Way Toward Protecting Your Organisation.

We work with some of the world’s most prestigious organisations, institutions, and governments to secure the security of their data and regulatory compliance. Our seasoned cybersecurity practitioners take the role of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in your organization and business virtually and work as:

Fix The Known Vulnerabilities

Cyber attackers frequently target well-known network and IT product vulnerabilities. The product maker generally creates solutions or patches for these vulnerabilities, therefore patch management, which includes identifying and implementing these patches, should always be an organization's first line of security.

Incident Response Testing

Incident response is another aspect that should be checked. It is preferable to consult with important internal stakeholders about how you would respond to both a typical and one of the worst cyber incidents instead of finding it out during an attack. Assess your incident response processes, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans.

Back-Up Vital Systems

With the emergence of ransomware and wiper software that may erase or leave an organization's data worthless, backups should be on everyone's mind. If your organization does not have a backup plan in place, now is the time to create one. Make sure you have backup data copies kept offline, ideally off-site.

Basic Cyber Hygiene Implementation

Implementing simple cyber hygiene measures like multifactor authentication can lower attack risk by up to 90%. Within enterprises, IT and OT (operational technology) networks are increasingly intertwined, and basic cyber hygiene and zero-trust operating principles apply equally to OT systems.

Our Suite Of Cyber Readiness Services

Our clients from global multinational corporations count on us for global independent cyber and risk management advisors and supporters. We collaborate with your team to assess your organization's needs and provide personalised solutions that improve your organization's security and readiness to protect against cybersecurity dangers.

Cybersecurity Program Assessment

Maintain necessary precautions to secure your organization's future. This involves establishing if your business adheres to industry best practices, identifying and evaluating risks, and developing a comprehensive list of rated recommendations.

Risk Assessment & Penetration Testing

Our customised tests imitate attackers that are both familiar with and unfamiliar with your infrastructure. We examine your systems for abnormalities, inconsistencies, and irregularities that might expose your network to an attack.

Identifying Threats & Remediation

We detect threats proactively in order to include fixes before alerts are issued. Our professionals combine operational intelligence and cybersecurity technical intelligence to discover sophisticated persistent threats in your network.

Cybersecurity Compliance

Since data privacy and cybersecurity threats have resulted in increased legislation and stringent regulations, we assist your organisation in meeting its specific regulatory compliance needs while optimising its return on cybersecurity spending.

Custom Crisis Exercises & Evaluations

We assist you in better understanding your organization's threat profile and weaknesses, preparing a response strategy, and strengthening security by using real-world scenarios and simulations.

Third-Party Audit & Assessments

Growing reliance on third-party vendors and data exchange with them can expose businesses to risk while also providing hackers with another access point. We conduct third-party due diligence evaluations to identify cyber risk and make customised threat mitigation solutions.

Cybersecurity Readiness Levels

Passive Readiness

We obviously hope cyber threats would just vanish, but passive organisations act as if they actually have. It is a typical procedure to simply comply with existing industry and security regulations. They just delegate responsibilities to their IT department. Policy and process reviews, as well as third-party risk assessments, are infrequent. Breaches go mostly undetected as cyber defences are inadequate for these businesses.

Reactive Readiness

These organisations entrust cybersecurity to their IT professionals. They can review policies and processes or request a third-party risk assessment on a quarterly or biannual basis. Outside expertise helps in the detection of some breaches, those breaches are handled on a particular case basis, with no attempt made to prevent future issues. Consequently, reactive organizations are always playing catch-up with ever-changing cybersecurity threats.

Proactive Readiness

Proactive companies aim to avert future attacks rather than merely reacting to current ones. They are aware of the actual and current threats and their security policies and procedures are reviewed on a regular basis. The IT department is responsible for the network's vital day-to-day functioning, with third parties pulled in to share some of the security tasks. These organisations put in the above-average effort, yet the results may fall short.

Progressive Readiness

Organisation's engagement in developing, managing, and reviewing security procedures is deep. While attempting to avoid as many future breaches as possible, these companies have recognized that they are always under attack and that some attempts may succeed. To combat this inevitability, they employ innovative technology to diminish (or perhaps erase) the value of compromised data. However, evaluations and risk assessments are continuous, with third-party expertise reducing the IT team's security load.

Cybersecurity Readiness Is More Crucial Than Ever Before.

Cybersecurity specialists collaborate with your team to assess unique needs and create solutions that improve cyber readiness in the face of rising cybersecurity threats.

Regardless of your organization’s industry, location, or scale, our team consisting of dedicated cybersecurity experts, incident response consultants, developers, and data scientists with vast investigative backgrounds, is ready to assist you in establishing and achieving your organization’s cyber readiness objectives.
