What Is Cybersecurity Management?
Cybersecurity is the set of practices that protect systems, networks, devices, programs and data from threats such as phishing, scams and hacking. A cybersecurity management program organizes these practices so an organization can reduce risks before they cause harm, respond well when incidents happen and keep the business running.
Why Is Cybersecurity Important?
Every industry depends on data. A successful attack can expose people to privacy loss, identity theft and fraud, and can cost an organization money, reputation and legal standing. A managed program, based on international standards such as ISO/IEC 27032 and frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, prepares an organization to prevent, detect and recover from attacks.
