⚽ 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹: 𝗪𝗵𝗼’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺? 🛡️

Just like a football team, every cybersecurity professional..

plays a crucial role in defending the organization's goalkeeping threats at bay!

From the Incident Handler guarding the net to the Pentester leading the attack…

each role is strategic, specialized, and essential.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 "𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿-𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻"

every position showcases the importance of teamwork in protecting an organization:

🧤𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗿:

🛡️𝗦𝗢𝗖 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁:

Here are 6 steps every business should to do stay safe from Cyber Attacks. This is what every single Cybersecurity Professional should know:

As a Cybersecurity professional, you don't have to re-invent the wheel to keep your organization safe. There are many cybersecurity frameworks that can guide you there. Today, I'm focusing on the NIST CSF 2.0.

The NIST CSF 2.0 is a volunteer framework that, at minimum, every organization should be following.

Here are the 6 Steps within the framework:

1. GOVERN - The organization’s cybersecurity risk management strategy, expectations, and policy are established, communicated, and monitored. It provides outcomes to inform what an organization may do to achieve and prioritize the outcomes of the other five Functions in the context of its mission and stakeholder expectations.

IDENTIFY - The organization’s current cybersecurity risks are understood. Understanding the organization’s assets (e.g., data, hardware, software, systems, facilities, services, people), suppliers, and related cybersecurity risks enables an organization to prioritize its efforts consistent with its risk management strategy and the mission needs identified under it.

PROTECT - Safeguards to manage the organization’s cybersecurity risks are used. Once assets and risks are identified and prioritized, it supports the ability to secure those assets to prevent or lower the likelihood and impact of adverse cybersecurity events, as well as to increase the likelihood and impact of taking advantage of opportunities. Outcomes covered include identity management, authentication, and access control; awareness and training; data security; platform security (i.e., securing the hardware, software, and services of physical and virtual platforms); and the resilience of technology infrastructure.

DETECT - Possible cybersecurity attacks and compromises are found and analyzed. It enables the timely discovery and analysis of anomalies, indicators of compromise, and other potentially adverse events that may indicate that cybersecurity attacks and incidents are occurring. It supports successful incident response and recovery activities.

RESPOND - Actions regarding a detected cybersecurity incident are taken. It supports the ability to contain the effects of cybersecurity incidents. Outcomes cover incident management, analysis, mitigation, reporting, and communication.

RECOVER - Assets and operations affected by a cybersecurity incident are restored. RECOVER supports the timely restoration of normal operations to reduce the effects of cybersecurity incidents and enable appropriate communication during recovery efforts.

Bonuses:
→ Create a strong Cybersecurity culture
→ Visualize Success

Don't have all of these above in place? It's ok. Start building toward them. The goal is to get stronger every day.

Storytelling is a core capability for leaders of change. Stories are the building blocks of empathy & compassion and a way of getting to the heart of who you are. They foster feelings of community & connection. They can help people feel more in control & less alone in the challenges they face. Leaders who tell compelling stories can move their audience from apathy to empathy & ultimately to action.
