On an average, enterprises need 50 days to resolve an insider’s attack and 23 days to recover from a ransomware attack. As a security leader, when's the last time you called a meeting with your executives to understand what this would mean for your business? Cybersecurity has evolved from a purely technical issue to a critical business priority. Effective cyber risk management requires a thorough understanding of core business processes—knowing what truly matters to your organization. When cybersecurity is driven by business goals, it not only protects essential assets but also enables informed decision-making across teams, prioritizes the most significant risks, and demonstrates a clear return on investment. Aligning cybersecurity with business priorities helps CISOs, CFOs, and other leaders make strategic decisions based on real business needs, not just compliance checkboxes. By focusing on what matters most, companies can better justify their security investments and build resilience against evolving cyber threats. Are you protecting what matters most? If aligning your cybersecurity strategy with your business goals is a priority, let's connect and explore how to make it happen! ?????? ???? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ????????????????.

?? ???? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ????????????, ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????? ?? ??????????????????????????? ?? In today’s interconnected world, businesses are facing an invisible yet highly dangerous adversary: ????????????????????????????. No longer are they lone hackers in basements—they’re sophisticated, well-funded, and strategic operators. Modern-day digital heists have become more damaging than even natural disasters. The question isn’t if your business will be targeted, but when—and how prepared you are to respond. We’re living in an era of Ocean’s 11 attacks. Cybercriminals don’t just breach your systems—they target your business like a well-orchestrated heist, understanding your vulnerabilities, your high-value assets, and how to evade your defenses. They move in silence, often spending weeks or months inside your networks, learning the ins and outs of your operations before striking. ?????? ????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ??????????????????, ???????? ????????????????????, ?????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ????????. This is the reality. And high-profile companies have already felt the sting of such attacks. Take Clorox as an example. Cybercriminals didn’t just steal data—they crippled the supply chain by taking down order processing systems, leaving empty shelves at retailers like Walmart and Target. The cost? ???????????? $?????? ?????????????? ???? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????? ???? ???????????????? ??????????????. This attack didn’t just disrupt business; it sent shockwaves through the entire industry. ?? How can you defend your business in this age of digital heists? It’s time to think like a cybercriminal. - Do you know what makes your business tick? - What are your most critical systems, assets, and processes? - What would happen if those systems went offline tomorrow? To protect your organization, you must look at it from the eyes of a hacker. Start by considering your industry: - Healthcare: What happens if our patient admissions system goes down> - Manufacturing: What if I can’t fulfill customer orders? - Banking: What if customers cannot access their funds? Then, take action: - Conduct risk scenario analysis - Identify your key assets and their interdependencies - Implement a layered defense strategy that protects these assets - Proactively monitor risks to core business processes In the end, it’s about more than just reacting to threats. It’s about outsmarting them—beating cybercriminals at their own game. The future of cybersecurity lies in preparation, proactive defense, and strategic investment in protecting what matters most. Is your business ready for the next Ocean’s 11 attack? ?????? ???? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ????????????????.

Cut Slack Some Slack: Insights on Disney’s Recent Breach Disney just discontinued using Slack after a massive breach, but let’s be real—this wasn’t Slack’s fault. The problem was Disney’s weak SaaS security strategy. Shifting blame doesn’t solve the issue. SaaS tools like Slack aren't the problem; lack of strategic security planning is. ??If Disney had developed a SaaS security strategy that included cyber criminal attack scenario planning, critical business process analysis, and protection of high value assets, could this breach have been prevented? The Disney breach shows us that if security teams are not aligned with business priorities, the business will get hurt! Beside the loss of 1TB sensitive data and so much confidential information, Disney is now investing millions of dollars to transition to a different collaboration tool. Switching to a new tool isn’t just expensive; it can also cause disruptions and new security problems. The critical takeaway! The recent breach is not just a security lapse—it’s a critical business risk. As seen in the aftermath of the Sony breach, the true impact of exposed data can unfold over years, damaging trust and eroding value. The lesson here isn’t to blame the tool but to recognize the need for a stronger, more strategic approach to security. This means prioritizing your most critical assets, continuously monitoring real risks, and ensuring security is integrated into every business decision. It’s time to act decisively, before the consequences become unmanageable. #SaaSSecurity #CyberSecurity #DataBreach #StrategicSecurity #SharedResponsibility https://lnkd.in/ebpeKUHQ
