Why your cybersecurity strategy should resemble hurricane preparation

Here on the Gulf Coast.

We need to be ready for just about anything.

Hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes and even this past year, snow and ice. When we go awhile without a weather incident, or when hurricane paths turn away from our coastal shores, it is easy to fall into complacency. That’s when things can go very wrong.

The same holds true in today’s information security landscape. Every organization strives to maintain structures that need care and attention. Then, we mustn’t forget the tactics, tools and strategies that need to be ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice. Often, in the middle of the night.

And, just like hurricane paths, your plans may need to change. Bad actors, inclement weather and even unplanned human errors can disrupt your business.

Do you have the cybersecurity expertise to stay ahead of the next incident?

Decisions about cybersecurity have implications throughout your organization – not only for technology-focused teams, but for every team.
