Cybersecurity as a business discipline: How to be ready for breaches

View profile for Marlon Cruz

Assistant Vice President - Consulting & Architecture at Globe Business

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT task. It’s a business discipline. This year, cybercrime is projected to cost the global economy $10.5 trillion. Yet only 2 percent of organizations can fully restore operations within 24 hours after a breach. That’s not just a tooling issue—it’s a readiness issue. Organizations that recover faster treat cybersecurity as part of daily operations, not just an annual audit requirement. Frameworks like NIST help identify critical assets, prioritize protection, and guide an effective response. When paired with your audit, they highlight where action is needed most. Is your organization making cybersecurity part of daily routine?

Very much agree on Compliance first but knowing the latest cyber criminals mind? Not a top focus. To be aware and prepared what they will do to your organization, learn the MITRE ATT&CK Breach & Attack Simulation - and adopt that to be part of an organization's culture. Before, hackers, cyber criminals find vulnerabilities facing the internet. Then, they break in. Today, not anymore. It's walk in the park. They login - no need for phishing but just buying exposed credentials for sale in the Dark Web! Do you have a culture of being proactive to know via real time alerts that malwares have just harvested your exposed user names and passwords in the Dark Web? In the 2024 reports, hackers' dormant time or lurking phase before striking in a network already accessed due to exposed credentials has been shortened from 3 hours to fastest 5 hours of compromise. Yes, you will not be hacked next month or next year. But once you become a target, its just a matter of hours. Compliance has zero defense vs. cyber attacks. FYI. Thank you.

Totally agree. Compliance only works when it translates into implementing the right controls that build real resilience.

Excellent point, Marlon. You're absolutely right that cybersecurity has moved from an IT task to a core business discipline. From the wholesale perspective, we see this at the most foundational level. The resilience and security of our entire client ecosystem begin with the inherent security of the core network infrastructure we provide. It's the first and most critical line of defense. Great to see the enterprise team championing this business-first approach. We're committed to providing the secure digital highways that enable it 👊 Globe Business KD Dizon Glenn E.
