1 Assess your risks

Identifying and evaluating your digital assets and the threats they face is the first step in cybersecurity. This will help you prioritize your actions and allocate resources accordingly. Frameworks such as NIST or ISO can be used to conduct a risk assessment and develop a risk management plan. This should cover the value and sensitivity of data and systems, potential impact of a breach or disruption, likelihood and severity of different types of threats and vulnerabilities, existing controls, gaps in security posture, and recommendations and actions to mitigate risks.

The most basic and sensible approaches are those of common sense and impact - no breach no pain always look at the common threats but always have in the back of your mind the what ifs and make a conscious effort to consider them in your daily operational delivery

We can improve cyber security by: 1. Identifying potential risks and threats 2. Keep updated on latest spam and phishing methods 3. Learn from your own/ other organizations losses. 4. Train employees on cyber crimes and phishing emails 5. Conduct tests by generating and sending phishing emails to employees and provide constructive feedback if found lacking 6. Use secure VPN and secure network for organisational dealing and storage

2 Implement security policies and procedures

The next step in cybersecurity is to establish and enforce security policies and procedures to define the roles, responsibilities, and rules for your organization's digital assets. These should cover access control, data protection, incident response, backup and recovery, as well as training and awareness. Access control outlines who can access what data and systems, and how. Data protection explains how to store, transmit, and dispose of data securely. Incident response outlines how to detect, report, and respond to security incidents. Backup and recovery outlines how to backup and restore data and systems in case of a disaster. And training and awareness educates staff and stakeholders about security best practices and expectations.

If I would say, I may have very less information on this topic. Some stuffs like sharing cridentials, unneccessory edits in system files are also a security threat.

3 Use security tools and technologies

The third step in cybersecurity is to deploy and maintain security tools and technologies that help protect, monitor, and defend digital assets. These should include antivirus and anti-malware software to scan and remove malicious software, firewalls and VPNs to filter and encrypt network traffic, encryption and authentication to secure data and verify identity, patch management to update software and fix security vulnerabilities, and security audits and testing to check security status and identify weaknesses.

4 Foster a security culture

The fourth step in cybersecurity is to create and sustain a security culture that promotes awareness, accountability, and collaboration among your staff and stakeholders. Such a culture isn't just about rules and tools, but rather attitudes and behaviors that support security goals and values. To foster this culture, you can communicate and reinforce security policies and procedures regularly, provide ongoing training and feedback on security topics and skills, encourage reporting and learning from security incidents and near misses, recognize and reward security achievements and improvements, as well as engage and involve your staff and stakeholders in security initiatives and decisions.

Very important to develop a security culture amongst all staff. This includes the awareness of keeping passwords secure, identifying email spams and also develop a sense of responsibility in handling patient information with confidentiality.

5 Review and improve your security

The fifth step in cybersecurity is to review and improve your security on a regular basis. Cybersecurity is an ongoing process that requires adaptation and innovation, and you should measure and track your security performance to ensure progress. Additionally, evaluate and update your risk assessment and management plan, incorporate new security standards and best practices, adopt new security tools and technologies, and seek external feedback from experts and peers. Cybersecurity is an essential challenge for any organization, but by following these five steps, you can strengthen your security posture and protect your digital assets from potential threats. Remember, cybersecurity is not only a technical issue, but a strategic one that affects every aspect of your organization.
