Enabling Technologies
To protect an organisation’s business within an ecosystem made up of customers, partners and employees, a company must implement a comprehensive approach to Cybersecurity, based on three main pillars:
The world we live in is changing at increasing speed, introducing improvements in the way we live and work that until recently seemed unimaginable.
This new world must however be protected and only the right mix of experience, skills and technologies will ensure a secure and controlled transformation.
In this context, cybersecurity is a fundamental part of the risk management strategy and an enabling agent for digital transformation. Going beyond IT security programmes, it is in fact a structured collection of technologies, skills, and processes, capable of effectively preventing, detecting, and reacting to attacks on people, data, applications, and infrastructures. Attacks are inevitable, and when they occur, cybersecurity professionals, from security professionals down to the CISO, must be prepared.
A strategy is needed to ensure that an organisation's data and key assets remain safe - one that helps them understand and decide where and how to invest. As with fire safety procedures, teams need to be prepared to act efficiently and quickly: who needs to be called? What part of the business should be isolated? How should the attack be communicated to customers, employees and partners? The cybersecurity strategy thus becomes an integral part of a business organisation and ranges from prevention and detection to reduce the occurrence of cyber-attacks, to mitigation to react to the occurrence of the attack.
