Building a Resilient Cybersecurity Program
Watch 'Building a Resilient Cybersecurity Program'
Recent cyber breaches have taught us many things about what not to do to protect our data. The key takeaway, however, is that organizations should be prepared to recover quickly and thoroughly if they experience a breach. Organizations need to have a resilient cybersecurity program in place.
Cybersecurity frameworks based on a checklist of controls promote deterrence rather than resilience. Cyberthreats evolve continuously, so it is not possible to deter all attacks all the time. That’s why for an organization to survive a breach, it’s important to develop a resilient cybersecurity program.
