Cybersecurity risk is business risk. Are you confident your business is secure?
More than 90% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error. Organizational culture is a key driver in protecting against cyberattacks, and culture is driven from the top down. Decisions at the executive level can help drive good cybersecurity practices, leading to well-run, well-protected companies.
While the likelihood of a cyberattack is high, all signs indicate that if things are done correctly at the top and communicated down to the entire company, the effects and cost of defending against and recovering from data breaches can be reduced substantially.
As business becomes more digital, the need for top-level buy in has never been stronger. In fact, by 2020, 100% of large enterprises will be asked to report to their board of directors on cybersecurity and technology risk at least annually.
The Impact of a Cyberattack on Your Organization
Most businesses understand cybersecurity is a necessity in today’s business landscape. A single cyberattack, whether or not it’s successful, can have a devastating effect on all areas of your operation.
On average, it will take 280 days to identify and contain a cyber threat. Are you prepared to wait that long? Could you survive having all operations shut down, dealing with fearful customers and having millions of dollars spent on operating without incoming revenue?
This is an organization’s reality after a data breach. Survival is directly related to leadership, execution and sustainability of key cybersecurity practices.
The risks of cybersecurity are no longer contained to the IT department. Everyone has a stake in keeping your business protected.
Why Cybersecurity Matters
Cybersecurity is the combination of people, processes, products and technology that protect an individual or an organization and its networks from digital attacks. Cybersecurity can also be known as IT security and encompasses the following areas:
- Organizational networks
- Cloud-based systems
- On-premise software
- Firewall and endpoint management
- Mobile devices
- Data and applications
The practice of cybersecurity is important because it protects organizations and their networks from exposing financial or sensitive business data, as well as personnel information. It’s estimated that the average cost of a cyberattack is more than $1 million and results in operational/productivity loss.
