TOP 10 Cyber

A ramping threat has seen organisations spend more on cybersecurity , improving their defences to embed security-by-design . As the digital transformation agenda forces organisations to embrace emerging technologies and new business models cybersecurity needs to be a key enabler of growth . EY recommends every transformation should promote three key principles across culture , governance and capabilities :
• Expect excellence in security fundamentals - be mature at ‘ security basics ’, practice good security hygiene and optimise current information security solution capabilities .
• Establish a strong governance program and culture of accountability - including adequate progress and performance metrics , development of a security-savvy culture and a culture shift to ensure security practices are a part of everyday responsibilities .
• Build a commitment to continuous improvement - adapt to new requirements based on evolving threats and trends , regularly assess security posture to remediate gaps , and remember that cyber strategy roles and responsibilities are for everyone in the organisation no matter what their roles .
