Plan, Prepare and Respond: A Holistic Cyber Security Risk Management Platform

Cyber attacks pose an escalating threat to organisations, carrying the potential for substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and legal ramifications. To effectively safeguard against such attacks, organisations must adopt a proactive approach that includes comprehensive planning and preparation for potential incidents. Unfortunately, many organisations struggle in this process due to a lack of efficient mechanisms, tools, training, and processes for defending, responding to, and recovering from cyber attacks. Cyber readiness serves as a vital strategy for preparing organisations to combat these threats. However, the existing frameworks and tools available for assisting organisations in handling cyber attacks and managing cybersecurity risks are insufficient. This paper presents a holistic solution aimed at enhancing organisations’ cyber readiness in responding to cyber attack events. The proposed approach involves conducting a thorough assessment of the organisation’s current security posture, identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and offering recommendations for improvement. By implementing this comprehensive strategy, organisations can enhance their ability to withstand and respond effectively to cyber attacks.
