The Risks of Neglecting Compliance Cybersecurity Risk Management in Business In the digital era, ignoring compliance cybersecurity risk management (CCRM) is as detrimental as operating an underfunded startup. Both scenarios expose businesses to significant risks that can stunt growth and lead to failure. Without robust CCRM, companies are vulnerable to cyber threats such as data breaches and ransomware, leading to the loss of critical data, financial resources, and customer trust. Similar to underfunded startups that might skimp on essential expenditures, businesses that overlook cybersecurity compliance risk hefty fines and legal issues due to non-adherence to regulations like GDPR or CCPA. Moreover, customer confidence is paramount, and any breach can irreversibly tarnish a brand’s reputation. For startups still building their brand, this can be particularly devastating. Operational disruptions from cyber incidents, like system downtimes and expensive recovery processes, can divert resources from core business activities, mimicking the financial strain experienced by startups facing unexpected expenditures. Additionally, neglecting CCRM can impede scaling, preventing businesses from meeting security standards required by larger clients or entering new markets. To mitigate these risks, businesses should prioritize establishing a comprehensive CCRM framework that includes regular risk assessments, clear data handling policies, employee cybersecurity training, incident response planning, and investment in scalable security solutions. This strategic approach not only avoids the pitfalls of non-compliance but also empowers businesses to secure operations, build trust, and expand confidently. Ignoring cybersecurity in today’s business environment is a perilous oversight akin to running an underfunded startup, one that modern businesses cannot afford. #Leadership #ExecutiveInsight #Innovation #CybersecurityLeadership #StartupLife #BusinessStrategy #CLevel #Entrepreneurship #DecisionMakers #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #Compliance #DataProtection #InfoSec #Startups #BusinessGrowth #DigitalTransformation #CyberRisk #TechTrends #CorporateGovernance https://C3-complete.com/

Security keys unlock nothing but inconvenience and a false sense of security. They are expensive and ineffective methods for securing enterprise systems, argues IDEE’s Al L.. 🔐 What are the issues? 👉🏽 A reliance on ‘phishable’ factors for set-up & registration 👉🏽 Keys cannot be ‘up graded’ to keep up with developing security requirements 👉🏽 Cost (almost €200 per user at the higher end with 2 x per person recommended) 👉🏽 IT should not turn onto an accidental logistics department We think it’s time to embrace innovation and strive for better. 'Phish-resistant' is no longer 'good enough' (if ever there was such a thing in cyber security). We don't need to compromise. Read Al Lakhani’s opinion piece for Tech Monitor (link in comments).

Dealing with Procurement and the Rs 20,000/- VAPT Expectation: Apples vs. Grenades 🍏     In my journey in the cybersecurity world, I've encountered numerous instances where companies expect us to perform Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for a mere Rs 20,000/- while the industry standard is Rs 4,50,000/-. It's a classic case of comparing "Apples to Grenades." 🧨     In VAPT, you can't equate a thorough assessment with a rushed, budget option. It's like a ticking clock, and if you treat it like a mere apple, you might be safe for a while. But if you pull out that grenade pin, be prepared for an imminent explosion and potential career fallout, reminiscent of CISOs in major security breaches. 🕰     Here are some points I'd like to highlight when dealing with procurement teams fixated on cost:     1️⃣ Look beyond the price tag and consider the real value: A low-cost VAPT may lack the expertise, processes, and corrective plans that a professional, high-quality service provides. Don't compromise on security for short-term savings.     2️⃣ Avoid the temptation of bundling multiple services with one vendor: This might seem cost-effective, but it often leads to mismanagement, as each service has different requirements and standards.     3️⃣ Long-term thinking is crucial: Partners offering cheap services might not have your best interests at heart. They could cut corners, leading to potential future issues. Evaluate their intentions and capabilities carefully.     4️⃣ Take ownership of your decisions: If a security breach occurs, it's on you and your procurement team. Your choices will determine whether your organization stays secure or faces a crisis.     5️⃣ Research the average industry costs: Don't just rely on the cheapest offer; consider the value, experience, and trustworthiness of your security partner.     6️⃣ Understand your partner's motivations: Some partners offer reduced rates due to long-term relationships or budget constraints, not subpar quality. It's vital to assess the reasons behind their pricing.     In a world where cyber threats are ever-evolving, security is not a place to cut corners. Let's aim for a robust, apples-to-apples comparison in VAPT, rather than risking the security of our organizations. 🍏🔒     #Cybersecurity #VAPT #Procurement #SecurityMatters #CyberSmithSECURE #SmithGonsalves Santosh Khadsare

#Fresh_from_the_Press - Continuous threat exposure management (#CTEM) – a concept introduced by Gartner – monitors cybersecurity threats continuously rather than intermittently. In his article “Managing low-code/no-code security risks” on Help Net Security, Nokod CEO Yair Finzi argues why software created in low-code/no-code (#LCNC) and robotic process automation (#RPA) environments is a prime candidate for inclusion under the CTEM umbrella. In addition, Yair gives tips on how to align the five-stage CTEM framework (scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization) to LCNCs and RPAs.
