Over the last few years, remote work has accelerated the pace of digital transformation, prompting security teams to enhance protective measures and quickly identify vulnerabilities.
In the continually evolving technological landscape, organizations are grappling with growing compliance requirements, increased regulations, and the widespread adoption of cloud technology. These trends are reshaping internal security objectives.
As a result, teams are concentrating on fostering trust and empowering every aspect of the supply chain to prioritize security effectively.
During this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let’s delve deeper into the significance of comprehending and addressing digital transformation within your organization as reported by Onetrust.
What is digital transformation?
Digital transformation refers to the integration of digital technologies throughout an organization’s structure and is commonly done to increase efficiency or enable innovation in the workplace. In recent years, organizations pivoted to work-from-home and work-from-anywhere environments. This caused security teams to rapidly stand-up digital workplace solutions, and in many cases left certain vulnerabilities exposed.
How can I prevent cyber threats?
To combat the all-time high of cyberattacks and execute a successful IT Risk Management (ITRM) strategy, organizations must actively seek to understand how technology is used throughout business and consistently instill protective measures.
To ensure security, your organization should focus on the following:
- Awareness: It’s important to make sure that all employees from senior leadership to frontline workers understand what risk looks like and how to prevent it.
- Preparation: Ensure your team has a crisis response plan in the event of an attack. Understanding what to do and how to quickly react to an attack is crucial in mitigating the impact throughout your supply chain.
- Testing: Checking your systems and protection measures is important to understand their effectiveness.
- Lessons learned: Assess the learnings your organization (or other organizations) has gained from previous attacks and integrate them into your response plan. Leveraging information from past events to improve future processes is a great way to ensure overall security.
