As we are in the midst of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and in the lead-up to our own Secure Connected Future Summit which we are hosting in November, I feel that a lot of the focus when it comes to cybersecurity still tends to be on prevention tactics. However, I would argue that it is not just about having the right defensive cybersecurity tools in place, but it is also about understanding how the organisation will recover from an incident – how quickly and at what cost to the business.
The world around us is often a reflection of who we are and what we value. The same can be said for businesses. It’s no longer enough to be resilient, trustworthy, and secure your own organization; the companies you do business with need to meet these same standards.
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a dedicated month for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. And this year’s theme, “Secure Our World,” couldn’t be more timely. With the growing number of cyberattacks worldwide, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that critical infrastructure is at risk.
