So, this simple step is a no brainer, right? I would love to hear some reasons for not doing a cybersecurity assessment, anyone want to share?

Todays post was inspired by a data breach notification that hit my inbox last night. If tech giants can fall so can everyone else. That is the eye opener as well as petrifying because we put so much trust in the solutions we procure from them! In prior years people used the statement "if" I ever encounter a cyber incident I will lean on my Cyber Insurance policy to get me out of it. Now people need to think about wiping that "if" statement from there minds and swap in more dynamic logic by substituting if for "when". The correct way of thinking is what will happen "when" I encounter a cyber incident! How will my insurance provider help? How will I respond? Do I have a plan that will help me navigate through this hard time? Do I have an IT person/people that have the skills to be a partner to help me through it? What am I currently doing (posture assessment) to ensure that I am being as proactive as possible? What can I do to be more proactive? Etc. Etc. The new way of thinking voids the "if" statement, nowadays the new logic is to adopt the mindset titled "assumption of compromise" where you think you are already in the incident state and are trying to keep your eyes peeled for anomalies. It is a "Brave New World" that we live in where technology advances outpace security. While the primary goal of technology is to create efficiencies, increase profit, increase productivity, etc. it is also making life harder and creating new risks along with it. #InformationSecurity #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #Breach #DataBreach #Cyber #Security
