When a breach inevitably occurs don’t be caught over-invested in the prevention of cyberattacks. Your recovery plan needs to be just as strong.
This sponsored article is brought to you by Dell Technologies.
Many organizations continue to invest in different strategies to mitigate cyber threats, like ransomware, or prevent breaches. However, according to Gartner®, “The inescapable conclusion is that breaches – whether targeted at specific organizations or affecting innocent bystanders in general – cannot be prevented.”
So, what can your organization do to stay ahead of the rapidly changing threat landscape and sophisticated cyber criminals? Be cyber resilient!
Identified by Gartner, Dell would like to provide insight into the five key traits of all cyber resilient organizations:
1. Targeting of Minimal Viable Cybersecurity (MVC)
Cyber resilient organizations remove complexity by consolidating security tools and utilize security service experts to help relieve strained personnel.
2. Creation and Tracking of a Cyber Resilience Index
Assessments of current cyber resiliency help determine future readiness and program maturity. Dell Technologies offers a Cyber Resiliency Assessment to help you understand where your cyber risks and vulnerabilities are now and how to remedy them by receiving actionable recommendations.
3. Transforming of Cybersecurity Into Cyber Resilience
The key to minimizing business damage is to develop resilience over defense. A resiliency strategy is one that balances active detection and prevention of attacks with being prepared for a breach and able to recover operations quickly after an attack.
4. Hiring for Failure
To accelerate both security and digital transformations into a competitive advantage, great security and resiliency practices need to be embedded into the DNA of an organization, thoroughly educated and routinely practiced.
5. Training for Enterprise Recovery
Recovery is a major element of cyber resiliency. Organizations with a mature cyber resiliency program rely on strong business continuity and recovery systems, and are capable of arresting attacks early, lessening the damage and recovering with less disruption.
Dell agrees with Gartner’s recommendations that organizations should consider an approach that balances defensive strategies and cyber resiliency to mitigate business disruption. Gain peace of mind that your customer’s data IT assets are securely protected and available with intrinsically secure infrastructure, threat detection and response, data protection and cyber recovery.
