The Cybersecurity Resilience Quotient Measuring Security Effectiveness

The truth is that in today’s hyperconnected world, maturity-based cybersecurity programs are no longer adequate for combatting cyberrisks. A more strategic, risk-based approach is imperative for effective and efficient risk management (Exhibit 2).

Having completed actions one through five, the organization is now in a position to build the risk-based cybersecurity model. The analysis proceeds by matching controls to the vulnerabilities they close, the threats they defeat, and the value-creating processes they protect. The run and change programs can now be optimized according to the current

For example: if you can pick 20 metrics that encapsulate a number of the CIS Critical Controls and work like crazy to keep your environment to those then you will likely get more benefit than spending your time on more sophisticated approaches.

Let's keep in mind the words of Deputy Chairman Victor Zhora: "Resilience stems first from basic cyber hygiene." By prioritizing cybersecurity, planning for crises, and creatively reducing risk, we can build a more resilient future.

Mostly, they seek out vulnerabilities, detect attacks, and eliminate compromises. Of course, the size of the attack surface and the sheer volume of vulnerabilities, attacks, and compromises means organizations must make tough choices; not everything gets fixed, stopped, recovered, and so forth. There will need to be some form of acceptable (tolerab
