How to build cyber resilience: Denis Ferrand-Ajchenbaum in Technology Reseller

Security Convergence – Essential for Modern Organizations: 🌐 In today’s world, risks are interconnected from cyber threats to physical breaches. Working in silos is no longer effective. 🤝 Security convergence means bringing together physical security 🛡️, IT security 💾, and information security 📑 under one unified strategy. ✨ This approach helps organizations: ✔️ Reduce risks ⚠️ ✔️ Improve efficiency 📈 ✔️ Cut costs 💰 ✔️ Build resilience 🔄 🚀 Convergence is not just a best practice, it’s a strategic necessity for sustainable growth and enterprise protection. #Security #RiskManagement #Resilience #Leadership #InformationSecurity #CyberSecurity #PhysicalSecurity #SecurityConvergence #BusinessContinuity #CrisisManagement #OperationalExcellence #EnterpriseRisk #CorporateSecurity #FutureReady

In an era where our professional and personal lives are fully digitized, every individual operates within a digital world that requires a robust shield. This isn't just a consumer issue; it's the foundation of enterprise security, as each employee represents a potential gateway to corporate assets. As this visual powerfully illustrates, protecting ourselves from pervasive cyber threats is not about implementing a single, complex solution. Rather, it's about mastering the fundamentals. A truly effective security posture is built on three non-negotiable pillars: Strong Passwords enforced by a stringent corporate policy, situational Awareness cultivated through continuous security training, and diligent Updates managed by a proactive patch management protocol. For business leaders, the message is clear: protecting the organization means empowering every individual to protect their digital world. Fostering a culture of security where these three fundamentals are second nature is one of the most effective investments you can make in your company's long-term resilience and integrity. #CyberSecurity #DigitalShield #DataProtection #InfoSec #CorporateSecurity #SecurityAwareness #Leadership

Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) Organizations need more than just security tools, they need a clear way to connect security with business goals. This is where OCTAVE helps. It is a risk-based method that looks at threats, assets, and vulnerabilities. It helps organizations move from reacting to attacks to managing risks ahead of time. It brings together both technical teams and business leaders. OCTAVE helps: 1) Find what is most important to the business 2) Study risks in the right context 3) Create clear steps to reduce those risks When used well, OCTAVE guides leaders to make smart choices about security spending and builds stronger defenses. OCTAVE shows that cybersecurity is not only about technology, but also about managing risks in line with business needs. #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #OCTAVE #InformationSecurity

Too often, boards treat cybersecurity as a technical conversation, something to be delegated to the IT team. But cybersecurity is not an IT problem. It’s a business risk and like all business risks, it belongs in the boardroom. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported over 94,000 cybercrime incidents in 2023. That’s one every six minutes. Most were not the result of complex, nation-state attacks, they were basic vulnerabilities, human lapses, and governance failures. In my experience, the organisations that stay resilient don’t necessarily have the most advanced tools. They have alignment, clear ownership and leadership teams who ask the right questions: > How is risk reported in business terms? > What evidence do we have that controls are working? > How quickly can we respond, and who is accountable? This is why cybersecurity must be embedded into governance, because in the end, tools can only protect you if your people and processes are working with them. So perhaps the better question for boards to ask isn’t “What tools do we have?” but “Do we have the leadership discipline to make cybersecurity part of how we run this business?” #CyberSecurityLeadership #BoardroomSecurity #ExecutiveInsight

Rethinking Our Approach to Cyber Resilience 🔒 Are we too focused on prevention when we know breaches are inevitable? As cybersecurity leaders, we must shift our paradigm toward resilience, enabling our organizations to not just survive but thrive in the face of adversity. Here are three actionable insights to fortify your security architecture: 1️⃣ **Embrace a Zero Trust Model**: Studies show that organizations implementing Zero Trust reduced their risk of data breaches by 50%! This rigid approach goes beyond perimeter security and ensures that verification is required from everyone trying to access resources, regardless of their location. 2️⃣ **Implement Continuous Monitoring**: According to a recent report, breaches can take an average of 287 days to identify and contain. Continuous monitoring strategies can significantly reduce this time, mitigating potential damage and allowing for quicker responses. 3️⃣ **Strengthen Incident Response Plans**: Companies with defined incident response plans can reduce financial losses by up to 60%. Regularly update and practice these plans to ensure your team is prepared for contingencies. In today’s evolving threat landscape, it’s not enough to simply block attacks. We need to anticipate, adapt, and respond proactively. What strategies are you deploying to foster resilience in your cybersecurity framework? Let's ignite a discussion! #Cybersecurity #ZeroTrust #IncidentResponse #ContinuousMonitoring #InfoSec #CISO

You don’t wear a seatbelt because you expect to crash - you wear it because you know accidents happen. And when it comes to cyber attacks, the impact isn’t measured in dents and scrapes - it’s measured in reputations lost, operations halted, and trust destroyed. On Tuesday 23rd September at 11am, PureCyber’s Autumn Webinar Series begins with Crisis Unfolding: Why Leaders Must Own Incident Response. A cyber incident is no different. The preparation you do beforehand determines how well your organisation weathers the impact. In this free live session, our senior specialists will not only walk you through the first critical hours after a cyber attack and the decisions leaders must make under pressure, but also the vital groundwork beforehand - from policies to operational guidance - to ensure your incident response plan won’t fail when it matters most. This is the first of three webinars designed to give leaders the strategies and confidence to strengthen cyber resilience in the months ahead.

Do you know your organisation’s cyber maturity level? Many organisations feel confident in their cyber security setup however, a structured review can reveal vulnerabilities they simply weren’t aware of. That’s where the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF 2.0) comes in. This assessment isn’t just a technical exercise, it’s a strategic tool that helps you understand your organisation’s cyber maturity across six essential pillars: 1️⃣ Identify – Know what assets you have and what’s at risk 2️⃣ Protect – Put safeguards in place to defend your systems 3️⃣ Detect – Spot threats before they cause damage 4️⃣ Respond – Act quickly and effectively when incidents occur 5️⃣ Recover – Bounce back with minimal disruption 6️⃣ Govern – Ensure leadership and accountability are in place At TSG, our in-house cyber security specialists partner with organisations to deliver structured reviews using the NIST 2.0 framework which is vendor agnostic to identifying strengths, uncovering gaps, and providing clear, actionable steps to enhance cyber resilience.
