Within the modern world, technology is constantly advancing at a rapid rate. However, with new technology comes new risks. An organisation utilising technology to any degree should be aware of cybersecurity, and have risk management plans in place to maintain system integrity.
Cybersecurity is the process of keeping organisation information safe and can cover all digital factors including finances and customer information. Cyber threats can be completely minor, and be an inconvenience at most, but major threats also exist and could completely disrupt business functions, causing a loss in assets, clients and reputation. Maintaining effective risk management would reduce the probability of risks, and allow the organisation to be better prepared if they do occur.
For cybersecurity to be efficient, cybersecurity audits must be conducted. These audits will detail the technologies themselves, the potential threats, and what preventative measures can be taken. There are multiple frameworks that can be used as guidelines for these audits, to ensure all essential areas are accounted for.
Creating risk and crisis management plans from the information collected in cybersecurity audits is crucial for ensuring safe business functions. Not only in preventing risks, but in the scenarios where a risk does occur the plans should have an emphasis on business continuity, and methods in which the business can safely recover their losses.
