Many organizations face cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of their valuable information. Security incidents are more common than not: municipalities losing data permanently, oil pipelines being shut down, energy companies paying millions in ransom to regain control of their hijacked systems, and so on.
As someone responsible for cybersecurity, you might be worried about how to manage all of this.
The “hard side” usually gets handled – A proven way to deal with these risks is by setting up an Information Security Management System (ISMS), preferably based on international standards like ISO/IEC-27001 and ISA/IEC-62443-2-1. These standards contain useful and necessary guidelines based on globally embraced best practices. More and more companies are experiencing the benefits of using these standards. However, many often lose sight of the bigger picture amidst the overwhelming details of the standards. Why are we doing this in the first place? But more importantly, how do I keep my people motivated? Due to the often overwhelming amount of policies and associated procedures, you may notice that initially motivated security officers and technical security specialists start disengaging or merely follow the rules because that’s what has been agreed upon.
How can you, as the person responsible for cybersecurity, turn the tide? – Just as there are best practices for addressing the “hard side” of cybersecurity, there are also best practices for the “soft side.” And this is just as essential.
