Cyber Security & Cyber Risk Management Services

Cyber Security Management Benefits

A strong cybersecurity management policy focuses on an organization's specific risks. The professionals who run this program create a clear set of procedures. Once they find vulnerabilities, the policy lays out solutions to stop malicious code from infecting the organization's servers, defense systems, and computers. It also details how to implement security measures and who is responsible if a breach occurs.

A cybersecurity management program provides key services, such as:

Providing security intelligence
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Mitigating advanced threats
Securing Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices
Designing and implementing a strong enterprise security architecture

6 Best Practices in Cyber security Management

Here are 6 tried-and-tested practices in cybersecurity management

01

Understanding IT Assets and Environment

An effective cybersecurity management calls for an in-depth knowledge of the resources and IT environment within an organization, including networks, systems, BYOD devices, technology, endpoints, data and digital assets, and other relevant items. A deep understanding of all the elements of an IT landscape is crucial since each facet of the network is powerful enough to penetrate the entire system. Also, it is important that you monitor the IT environment continuously while assessing your assets.

02

Deploying a Risk Management Strategy

Dealing with the risk without deploying a well-defined, efficient, and effective cybersecurity risk management strategy can be dangerous. Thus, it is imperative that an organization come up with sound strategies and keep them updated. Prior to coming up with an effective strategy, an organization must first determine the risk tolerance level and then create a risk profile. It must also be ensured that a strategy includes roles for all the stakeholders and employees, incident responses and escalation strategies, and any other relevant information.

03

Making Cybersecurity Risk Management an Essential Element of the Organization’s Culture

Without proper implementation, even the most well-crafted cybersecurity risk management policies and processes are of no use. Thus, it must always be ensured that the ideas, plans, and procedures are conveyed properly to all the parties involved. Integrate cybersecurity risk management policies and processes within the values and culture of the entire organization. Parties involved in managing cyber threats must always be aware of, understand, and take up their responsibilities well.

04

Using Continuous, Adaptive, and Actionable Risk Assessments

The 2 most crucial elements of risk management include risk identification and assessment. Since the risks associated with cybersecurity are constantly changing, a change in the company’s procedures or introduction on new and updated technologies can change the risks significantly. As a result, the general risk assessment of an organization will have to be adjusted. The procedures must be assessed for any deficiencies and constantly enhanced to ensure effective security.

05

Enhancing Visibility into the Network

To prevent and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, visibility into all areas of the network is critical. Factors including insider threats, third-party components, and human error can endanger the environment. Thus, real-time and reliable visibility into an organization's risk profile is critical. Use a web application firewall (WAF) - Managed and situated at the network's edge to keep track of traffic, offer instant and actionable information, and continuously protect against all the known and unknown threats

06

Implementing Strict Security Protocols

An efficient and effective risk mitigation calls for a comprehensive and user-friendly security system. Here are a few techniques: Set up a consistent and reliable backup system Consolidate systems and data whenever possible. Implement access controls and authentication policies Implement stringent security procedures for all the remote employees

Cyber Security Audit

A cybersecurity audit is an independent, systematic check of an organization's security. It ensures that all policies, procedures, and security controls are in place and working efficiently. Essentially, it helps an organization verify that its security policies are being followed as intended.

What does a cyber security audit cover?

A cybersecurity audit is based on cybersecurity guidelines, policies, and standards. It also makes sure that an organization's security controls are optimized and all compliance requirements are met.

Specifically, an audit evaluates:

Data Security: Reviews how encryption is used, how data is secured during transmission and storage, and network access controls.
Operational Security: Reviews policies, procedures, and security controls.
Network Security: Reviews network and security controls, including the SOC, antivirus settings, and security monitoring.
System Security: Reviews processes for patching and hardening systems, managing privileged accounts, and controlling role-based access.
Physical Security: Reviews physical access controls, such as role-based access, multi-factor authentication, biometric data, and disk encryption.

Why does an organization need cyber security audit?

A cybersecurity audit gives your company, its partners, and its customers valuable information on how well your security controls are working.

Key Benefits of a Cybersecurity Audit:

Compliance: Ensures you meet all regulatory requirements.
Testing Controls: Verifies that your security measures are effective.
Reputational Value: Builds trust with clients and partners
Highlights Weaknesses: Uncovers vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Improving Security Posture: Strengthens your overall defense.
