A guide to building your organization’s cyber resilience
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a cooperative effort between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance. While this month is a good reminder to get serious about security, modern cyberattacks prove that traditional defenses aren’t enough. Today’s threats are more frequent and sophisticated than ever before, with the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. reaching over $10 million. To succeed, organizations must move from a mindset of fearing breaches to one of confidence in their ability to withstand and recover from them.
The good news is that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem; it’s a business issue, and every leader has a part to play. To help you build a more secure and resilient organization, we’ve gathered all our top resources in one place.
