A well-developed viable cyber security strategy, based on sound risk management practices, is critical to the defence of an organisation’s assets. The strategy and associated cyber security roadmap identify the steps necessary to ensure that resources are allocated across an organisation as effectively as possible.

Cyber security threats are dynamic and insidious, organisations therefore need to be agile in evaluating and modifying their cyber security priorities based on a sound risk management approach that factors in the latest intelligence and real-world incidents, and is informed by enterprise-wide lessons learned. It is crucial that a roadmap translates these priorities into actions in order to protect an organisation’s most valuable assets.

Understanding the capability of cyber security within an enterprise and its appetite for risk, means comprehensively analysing the operational efficiency and effectiveness of deployed controls; resiliency of the people/processes/technology in use; maturity of practices; gap analyses; total cost of ownership; and more.

While developing a cyber security strategy, one must consider standards, best practices, key performance indicators (KPI) and business goals.
