Security Management
17. Security Framework and Standard
You as an organization must think of all possible entry points and data exposure scenarios to be able to manage your cyber risks and keep them at an acceptable level defined by your company. On the other hand, the bad actors need to only find a small security hole in your network, suppliers, or your staff to bypass all of your countermeasures and access your data. Therefore, implementing and investing in only certain security controls and leaving other areas unprotected wouldn’t help you to assure your stakeholder of the security of your network and data. You need to have a holistic approach to security and risk management following the best practices and of course, meaning full to your line of business. That’s the area security frameworks and standards can help you out.
