Cybersecurity experts note that there are two types of organizations: those that know they’ve been hacked and those that don’t. If there is a silver lining in this observation, it is that organizations are increasingly falling into the former category, and they are preparing themselves. The Internet was designed with security as an afterthought, meaning cyber criminals have a perpetual leg up in the digital arms race. Technology is no panacea—even if software vulnerabilities become a thing of the past, human error never will. Indeed, the improvement of security systems in recent years has coincided with a rise in “social engineering” and spear phishing attacks that prey on human fallibility. While network breaches are inevitable, this does not mean that organizations are helpless. The consequences and impact of a breach can vary tremendously, and how an organization prepares itself can make all the difference. The first step is to ensure certain basic security measures are in place—measures that limit the damage an intruder can do. How an organization responds is equally if not more important.

Having a good Security Incident Response plan is a first step, but a plan serves little use unless it is understood by team members and is aligned with the core values and risk tolerance of the organization.  Training and exercise is the best and only real way to prepare for the breach that will occur. Through planning and exercise, bringing together diverse stakeholders and creating a common dialogue between business, IT, security, and operations will improve preparedness and cut down organizational silos.

Getting management to ask about cyber risks is one challenge, answering those questions in a way that they can understand is another. Clear communication about cyber risks is not always easy, but it is often the key to gaining the funding and organizational support necessary to overcome the inevitable data breach.
