Cyber security is a business decision not an IT initiative.
Cyber Trends Inc. has put the focus of cyber security on the corporation.
Many corporations don't know where to start or invest in cyber security. Our goal is to educate corporations and their teams to provide a holistic understanding of how to build a stronger security posture.
Understanding and managing your risk is vital for determining threats, vulnerabilities, the likelihood of an event, and the potential impact such an event would have to the business. By understanding your risks, you can know where to focus your efforts. While you can never completely eliminate your risks, the goal of your information security program should be to provide reasonable assurance that you have made informed decisions related to the security of your information.
Cyber Security Corporate Preparedness will help organizations understand an acceptable level of risk that the business can tolerate. And only the business can answer that.
