5 Key Components Of A Successful Cybersecurity Framework

Protecting your company from cyberattacks is a major concern for organizations these days. With the increase in technology, more and more weak spots are being exposed in network security and companies are investing heavily in updating their security protocols. For that, it’s best to create a clear and concise cybersecurity framework. This will lead to better management of data and reduction of cybersecurity risks. This framework should incorporate existing guidelines and industry standards. 

Identification

First things first, it’s important to identify the nature of the business and evaluate the significance of each resource and the access that is required. For starters, consider the physical and software assets, the infrastructure, and finally, the data involved. This framework will aid in risk-minimizing and identification of critical assets and threats.

Protection

This element enables the safety of critical infrastructure services which allows for the management and containment of security issues. Similarly, this function starts with spreading awareness among employees so they understand their duties for cybersecurity.

Another crucial step is to arrange for identity management and limited access whether remote or physical. However, If you are looking for a long-term solution to cybersecurity threats, it would be ideal to develop system resilience in your organization. This can be achieved by constant supervision with regard to the implementation of the cybersecurity framework. 

Detection

Despite developing the framework, it’s possible for a cyberattack to occur. This leads to the after-attack protocol which is detection. The goal should not only be to avoid the attacks but also how to detect them if they happen. Constant monitoring can aid in early detection thus minimizing the damage. In addition to this, it’s imperative to stay alert and conduct regular market research into emerging threats and the new precautions being developed to fight those threats.

Response

Once the attack is detected and caught on radar, instant action is crucial. The response could be in terms of suitable actions pre-developed in the protection stage. However, a thorough evaluation would be required to estimate the damage done. Some of the actions taken can be:

  • Keeping stakeholders and law enforcement in the loop along with a media release for customers.
  • Implementing the action plan and following the protocol developed earlier in the protection phase.
  • Critical analysis of the effectiveness of the actions being taken.
  • Improving and updating the framework as you counter the risks.

Recovery

This step may be the last but it determines the future of the company going forward. The recovery process serves to restore the situation as effectively as possible. Moreover, recovery works on dual aspects: the short-term and long-term aim of securing the data. This step implements all the things learned during the response step and highlights the changes and updates required in order to improve the overall security framework. 

This cybersecurity framework works towards the elimination of confusion and uncertainty leading to an effective process in place. Moreover, focusing on healthy and thorough communication throughout the process is vital so that all employees are aware of the process and act accordingly.
