An efficient cybersecurity organization is the key to success. Putting in place the right technical solutions and raising awareness among your employees is a long way to go to become a fully cyber-resilient organization. Here are our 3 tips to achieve your digital security goals.
An efficient cybersecurity organization, a DSSI to anticipate needs
The interest in security within an organization and its systems is quite recent. Indeed, the subject is currently under the spotlight, notably through numerous publications. But until recently, teams were brought in to manage emergencies, without having the time to plan concrete support services or recruitment processes. Today, the geopolitical context and recruitment difficulties in IT are accelerating this awareness.
The notion of cybersecurity risk is therefore becoming omnipresent. That said, cyber resilience is mostly influenced by the security culture of each organization, which leaves room for disparities between each company, keeping some as inadequate to the security challenges.
Today, CISOs (Information Systems Security Managers) are unfortunately plagued by ever-increasing workloads and under-investment of their resources. The mutualization of the CIO and CISO functions is the source of these problems.
To strengthen the digital security of organizations, a regulatory proposal on cyber-resilience, planned by the European Commission, highlights the need to create a position of Director of Information System Security, who would be a member of the COMEX, would not depend on the CIO and would have an independent budget.
An efficient cybersecurity organization, a DSSI as a relay of information for an efficient IT security
In a complicated recruitment context, the difficulty of hiring technical profiles in IT poses certain problems.
Indeed, the shortage of talents leads companies to turn to external service providers to complete their teams. An interesting choice that promises some advantages, namely the acquisition of new know-how.
The mastery of digital security stems from a strong corporate culture in this area and the transmission of this knowledge. The absence of sharing will then translate into a non-learning company status, which can have the effect of tarnishing its image.
The implementation of a DSSI makes it possible to overcome this problem. As a real point of entry for cybersecurity, it will play a relay role at all levels of the company, and will transmit the necessary information and appropriate measures to each of its interlocutors in order to achieve its cyber-resilience objective in complete autonomy. The ISSD is an organizational and budgetary challenge for General Management in the coming years.
Increase your company's cybersecurity skills for a better understanding
In a time of increasing cyber-attacks, companies are scrambling to put in place a full security offering to avoid any problems, which unfortunately has its consequences. Faced with a flood of alerts, teams are not able to deal with such problems, which creates frustration and dissatisfaction throughout the organization.
Mastering security within one's company is therefore a long-term process. Between learning and increasing competence, the organizational issue remains essential. It is necessary to add to this a communication, information and training campaign to support this cyber-resilience.
Little by little, companies are being trained in computer security for an efficient and flawless management of their system.
