Five steps to cyber resilience – a cyber resilience plan for every SME and mid-market sized organization
Cyber advice is easy to come by for every business, but it’s harder to decipher what aspects of that advice are relevant for you as an SME or mid-market sized company.
That’s why we have developed this five-part special series to offer much more than a list of arbitrary tips that might or might not be relevant.
Over the next five blog posts, we will look at the bigger picture for your organisation and detail key actions rooted in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) cyber security framework.
By working through these key areas, we believe that by drawing on both our own experience in helping businesses build their own cyber resilience and the expertise of some of the leading cyber security practitioners, we can help you work towards achieving cyber resilience for your business.
The five areas of focus for five steps to cyber resilience for SME’s and mid-markets are:
- Identify – Understand your environment and overall cyber risk
- Protect– Implement appropriate safeguards to contain a cyber security event
- Detect– Maintain visibility into your network so you can detect intrusions
- Respond – Assume a breach will happen and have a plan in place
- Recover – Business interruption is the greatest risk; access experts to recover quickly
