A cybersecurity roadmap is unique for YOUR company

There is no simple one-size-fits-all solution Always keep in mind that every organisation is different. When it comes to Cyber Security there is no one-size-fits-all solution. What will work for your organisation will depend on its mission and goals, the kind of infrastructure and information you are protecting, available resources, etc. Finally, recognise that some techniques will only be learned with time and experience. This should not, however, stop you from getting started! Cybersecurity Incident management Guide 2016

Top management’s commitment

Cyber security incidents are a risk that should be incorporated in the overall risk management policy of your organisation. Furthermore, managing cyber security incidents does not just mean applying technology. It also requires the development of a plan that is integrated into the existing processes and organisational structures, so that it enables rather than hinders critical business functions. Therefore, top management should be actively involved in defining an organisation’s cyber security prevention and incident response plan, because top management’s explicit support through appropriate internal communication and the allocation
of personnel and financial resources is key to the success of the plan.

A well informed top manager will be aware both of the risks of cybercrime and of his own exemplary role in encouraging all members of the organisation to assume their responsibility.

Involve every member of your organisation

It is often said that humans are the weakest link when it comes to cyber security. Having said that, it is also important to realise that the members of your organisation have great potential to help you detect and identify cyber security incidents.

 Make sure that every member of your organisation is aware of your cyber security incident response plan and of their own role within it, even if this just means informing the right person about the ICT anomalies they stumble upon.
