Companies are now prioritizing cybersecurity as a top operational risk, with updated guidance from NIST providing valuable insights. However, the focus on prevention often overshadows the critical aspect of recovery from cyberattacks. It’s essential to integrate recovery into the overall security strategy, including continuous testing and alignment with incident response efforts. Dedicated resources and strategic direction are needed for comprehensive cybersecurity readiness.
From the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
1. Companies are starting to prioritize cybersecurity as a top operational risk in response to the growing digital landscape threats.
