Defensible Cybersecurity: Balancing Business and Operational Requirements
Summary
The acceleration of digital transformation due to global events presents significant cybersecurity challenges, as new technologies are often implemented without adequate security planning. This increases an organization's attack surface and the risk of data breaches. Organizations must proactively build defensible cyber infrastructures by integrating security into their digital transformation strategies.
IFF Assessment
The increased adoption of digital technologies and rapid digital transformation creates new vulnerabilities and expands the attack surface for organizations, making them more susceptible to cyber threats.
Defender Context
As businesses embrace digital transformation, defenders must anticipate an expanded attack surface and potential security gaps introduced by new technologies. Key focus areas should include ensuring security is embedded from the outset of technology adoption and continuously reinforcing the organization's digital fabric.
