Finding and implementing a cybersecurity risk framework is a challenge every organization faces. Time has shown that this endeavor almost always calls for the heavy lifting to be carried by chief information security officers (CISOs) and their staff. As a result, the focus of cybersecurity risk frameworks typically centers on established technical defenses and desired technical solutions. While this approach certainly addresses some important and critical aspects of cyber risk within an organization, what it does not address is true cyber resiliency, which should never be overlooked.
Business continuity will always remain the number one goal for organizations, and from that, cyber risk evolves from a single, technology driven focus into a critical component of how companies attain business resiliency. Business leaders put their requirements at the forefront in order to design solutions and practices that best answer the challenges in front of them. Cybersecurity leaders do the same, so it should come as no surprise that a marriage of both sides is an ideal solution.
