Conclusion
In many ways, the approach a midsize organisation takes
to managing its cyber security risk is no different to that
of a large corporate. We have already established that
they are just as likely to become the victim of a breach
as anyone else. But midsize organisations do operate
differently to their larger counterparts – and in many ways
this puts them at an advantage in terms of their ability to
respond to customer demands and market forces. When
it comes to cyber security however, this very tight focus
on customer acquisition and revenue growth can leave
this sector more exposed.
One increasingly popular option is to outsource cyber
security to a managed service provider that can offer
access to the most advanced technologies, training and
processes and manage them on behalf of its customers.
This approach offers significant cost savings and
provides near real-time visibility into your cyber
risk position.
Regardless of how you choose to address this
challenge, you must make sure that you have complete
transparency into your level of cyber risk and that it is
acceptable not only to you but also to your stakeholders.
If that isn’t the case, ensure you have a roadmap for
improvement and are able to track your progress over
time until you reach your ultimate cyber risk goal.
