Resiliency and the Fifth Step approach to cybersecurity

What do we mean by ‘resiliency’?
It includes:

  • Cybersecurity policies and procedures that reflect guidance from regulators
  • Robust vendor management as vendors are a common cyber threat vector
  • Identifying and protecting the most important assets, the “crown jewels”
  • Conducting periodic vulnerability assessments and compromise assessments
  • Comprehensive business continuity processes
  • Tested incident response planning, including proactive communication with authorities
  • Education and training of employees, the C-Suite and board of directors
  • Most importantly, a firm must demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement to address the evolving landscape of threats and regulations
