What is a Cyber Risk Assessment?
Cyber risk is not being managed well by most businesses. Despite massive investments in security software, processes, people and technologies, businesses are not really always as secure as they think they are. Why? The priorities may be wrong.
Spending more time, money and energy on firewalls may be unnecessary when the soft target happens to be employees, accessed via phishing scams.
Alternatively, hiring malware experts into the in-house team, who really don’t have the breadth that say a third party 20 person dedicated malware security team may have, could also start limiting your options.
The answer is to have a neutral, unbiased third party objectively look at the priorities, the order of things, and the magnitude of the time, money and resources investments in each area that affects cyber risk.
- identify risk
- prioritize risk
- manage risk
- mitigate risk
Do you Need a Cyber Risk Assessment?
Ask yourself…
Am I investing in the most critical areas first and not getting distracted by “low-hanging fruit?”
Am I confident that my cybersecurity investments will enable and protect the business and not be a career limiting move?
Will I be able to prove ROI and progress so that the business has confidence in me and my approach?
