Meeting global compliance obligations and increasing constraints on cybersecurity resources have become the driving forces for enterprises to develop ad-hoc cyber strategy programs without accurately identifying their greatest cyber risk exposure.
These driving internal and external forces are essential when building a secure environment, have significant impact on cyber strategy, and are essential to reducing risk while responding to change and anticipating threats.
Challenge
Cybercriminal activity is one of the biggest challenges that humanity will face in the next two decades. As we become more digitally connected, cybercrime damages will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. There is no 100 per cent protection against evolving cyberattacks, however, organizations can significantly mitigate and reduce risk against the common threat vectors.
- Social Engineering
- Supply Chain Attacks
- IoT and Infrastructure
- Identity and Mobile Authentication
- Rise of Zero-Day Threats and Polymorphic
- Cloud Vulnerabilities
- Supply Chain Cyber Attacks
- More Data Privacy Regulations
- Evolving Compliance Regulations
Solution
Forecight’s industry-driven Cyber Strategy Methodology can guides organizations to consider the relative weighting of the forces and their influence on cybersecurity journey. The methodology leverages ISO 27001/2 with elements of NIST, CSA, PCI-DSS Frameworks to address the most critical and practical elements of the cybersecurity program and unites the industry specific standards, regulations and industry specific requirements.
- Business Strategy
- IT Organization, Systems and Infrastructure
- Organizational Culture
- Adversaries and Threats
- Government and Industry Regulations
- Global Social and Political Forces
Methodology
Forecight’s 4 phased methodology leverages leading cybersecurity and regulatory frameworks depending on the organization’s specific requirements.
Each industry framework is defined structures containing processes, practices, and technologies to secure network and critical data to elevate and enhance organizational cybersecurity posture. Cybersecurity frameworks support and expedites the foundation of strong cybersecurity program and are industry specific mandated while others are voluntary to offer a security foundation.
