The Building Blocks of Cyber Preparedness

A threat may be internal or external

Cyber Security incident is a broad term used to describe any threat that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of an Organisation’s information.  A threat may be internal or external

Cyber drills are one way to help test the effectiveness of the security controls and identify gaps in incident response capabilities. Cyber drills give teams a real-world taste of how an attack scenario can play out and help reduce friction during handovers and joint tasks.

According to a UK Government Study, 58% of executive boards view cyber risks as a top business concern. 68% of boards have not received any training on how to respond to a cyber incident and 10% have no cyber incident response plan.

Some businesses simply have higher risk due to the nature of their work. Examples include places of mass gathering and events, construction businesses, entertainment venues, industries that deal with vulnerable persons and any other business that may attract adverse behaviour from those with opposing ideologies - such as RSL clubs, places of worship and sporting organisations.
