Cyber is hard, it's not as hard as you might be finding it right now, but it is hard. It's a new industry, it doesn't come with standard job titles and descriptions and there is a lot of confusion, it's a constantly changing landscape, it's a cost that you didn't have to pay before and business cases for spending a lot of money to get it right mean trying to determine the risk of a bad thing happening and how bad it would be....
Everyone is shouting its not a matter of if but when, everything needs patching, everything is legacy, everything is hard, there isn't enough people or money or shiny silver bullets. Everything and everyone promises to protect you from everything except the next thing - that you will need shiny bullet version 2, on a higher subscription and higher costs and you will need new training, staff and consultancy to make the most out of it.
Are you spending the right money in the right places? Are your staff about to leave, for more money or less pressure.
Remember you need to get all of this right - every, single, time. Bad guys just need to get it right once, and it's going to be the last thing you expect, when your people are on holiday and your incident response plan got deleted along with everything else.
Yes it's hard, but the whole point of Cyber Increment is to help organisations, to help cyber teams take stock and get help where they need it - to help them show the business what they are doing well and where they need help - not through fault but through risk analysis and an impartial view from a team that have seen it all before.
Reach out for a chat - we would love to help you and your team protect and defend better.
