Let’s face it: cybersecurity incident response needs all the help it can get.
One study found that 44% of those queried suffered at least twice at the hands of the same attacker, and 77% of those sufferers noted that the attacker had returned with the same or similar tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Tempting as it might be to forget all about the cyberattack nightmare you’ve just survived — don’t.
Not only are there several post-incident tasks you’ll need to be conscientious about, there is a great deal you and your employees can learn from the experience so that you don’t have to endure anything like it again.
Cybersecurity experts have a saying, which I’ll paraphrase: There are two types of organizations — those that have been hacked and those that will be hacked.
Once you’re facing a cybersecurity incident, it’s too late to start considering what you require for a successful response.
No question anymore that staying competitive means engaging your organization in a digital transformation involving the replacement/modernization of legacy systems and an expanded ability to exploit ever-increasing volumes of data.
Do you see business continuity and disaster recovery preparedness (BC/DR) as a cost center? Or do you regard it as a business driver?
Once you grasp that digital transformation is like the arrow of time — there’s no going back, only forward — the idea that your organization is on its way to relying on a multi-cloud ecosystem and that the bulk of your enterprise applications will sooner or later be cloud-native is, well, obvious.
