What is your cyber condition?
Organizations should operate with the impression that they "are" and "will" always be under attack. If the bad guys are not actively breaking in, your good guys should be, it doesn't matter who. What matters is the ongoing process of breaking-in to build up your cyber "condition."
"Cyber Conditioning" requires intensive training similar to what professional fighters do in preparation for their next fight. It's the training that makes the fighter more robust and less fragile when taking punches. Conditioning develops when you routinely put the fighter under extreme mental and physical stress.
In our cyber world, the ultimate goal is to continually introduce your organization to various attacks so that when the real one hits, your organization should go like "Is that all you got!" I have seen worse than that.
Remember, conditioning is not how good you are in blocking attacks before they reach your systems. It's the total opposite; conditioning is intentionally allowing simulated cyber-attacks to hit your systems while your "guard down" and continue to operate in your full capacity for a longer period of time. This is when you develop self-healing capabilities and recovering mechanisms.
It goes without saying, besides conditioning, you must not let your guard down and defend yourself at all times. This is cyber defense but that is a different story
