For CISOs and other security leaders, just knowing where to begin can be a challenge.Let’s say you’ve just taken over an organization’s cybersecurity program, or have been tasked with building one from scratch. You have a limited budget and limited personnel, so you can’t accomplish everything at once. Which tasks deserve your focus in the critical first few months? We’ve rounded up some cybersecurity tips from industry experts to help guide your initial strategy.
Quantifying and tracking your cybersecurity performance so you can compare your organization to others, also known as benchmarking, is necessary to improving the effectiveness of your security programs.
An effective third party cyber risk management program both identifies potential threats and finds ways to mitigate them. Organizations should aspire to the highest possible standards when it comes to their security posture. To do so, they must leverage the best technology, efficiently allocate resources, and strive for continual improvement.
