Nowadays all the businesses large and small are facing cybersecurity threats. Below is the summary of the recent article published in LinkedIn :
The top 5 questions business executives need to be asking to get a grasp on the cybersecurity threats they are facing:
- How could cybersecurity threats affect the different areas of my business such as finance, supply chain, and human resources?
- How can my business build long-lasting protection to mitigate our cybersecurity risks?
- What kind of potentially risky information sharing does my business partake in?
- With whom does my business exchange this information?
- What type of critical information do we stand to lose in the event of a breach of security (customer data, research, trade secrets, personally identifiable information, etc.)
Once you have asked yourself these questions, you are ready to take the next step to lead discussions with other senior staff and leadership teams. Here are some additional questions you can discuss with your team to get this conversation started:
- What is the current level of cybersecurity risk for our company?
- What is the baseline for alerting executive staff about impending threats?
- What is our plan to address identified risks?
- What cybersecurity training is offered to our employees?
- What measures do we take to reduce insider threats?
- How thorough are our cybersecurity incident response plans as well as our business continuity and disaster recovery plan?
- How often do we implement our plans and are they comprehensive (do they involve the whole company or are they limited to Information Technology (IT))?
- Is My IT company the right vendor to protect my business?
- What are our responsibilities and liabilities to our clients?
- How prepared is my business to work with federal, state, and local government in case of a cyber incident?
