There is one very funny situation, where when one was given advice, but they respond saying that \u201clet\u2019s wait till it happens first.\u201d It\u2019s surprising but honestly speaking, it\u2019s true. Try it around, advising someone to don\u2019t take sugar as it will cause diabetes, chances are they will respond with \u201cI don\u2019t have it yet\u201d. That\u2019s the point of prevention, taking care of it first before it happens because if it does, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, the same thing often happens in the corporate world. When advised to implement cyber security, chances are they will respond by saying \u201cWe are still safe, no need for that.\u201d Well, when you are unsafe, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Implementing Cyber Security should be one of the priorities when setting up a company. And there are few benefits of doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, it will help prevent cyber attack from happening to your company. Cyber security that was implemented alongside the process of building your system will definitely be more secure and difficult for hackers to hack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is cheaper to implement cyber security when you are starting out than fixing it later on. Fixing something you have set up long ago can be time, energy and resource consuming. It sure will result in a lot of trouble and might not even bring the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One can quickly troubleshoot when something goes wrong. By knowing what has built-in with your system, one can easily spot something went wrong. Remember, response time is very important when it comes to cyber security, as it will minimize the damage caused to your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It makes it easier to strengthen your cyber security in the future. Well, you need to know what you need to update right? Although this can be taken care by a third-party vendor, who\u2019s responsibility is to help you monitor your cyber security and alert you immediately when something goes wrong, it is still best if you can do small monitoring by yourself internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list goes on and on, which proves why it is crucial to implement at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might ask, \u201cwhat if I have already built my system without implementing cyber security?\u201d Well, it\u2019s time to do that now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take things one step at a time. As what research shows, a\u00a0human is the weakest link\u00a0when it comes to cyber security chain. Which is why the advisable first step to take is to\u00a0build a cyber security-aware culture\u00a0in your organization. To do that, you can either enforce certain policies (which, by the way, might result in your employees feeling very uncomfortable) or send them to\u00a0cyber security awareness training, so that they know why they are doing what the are doing. Of course, implementing tools, software, and other stuff is also very important, but this non-human stuff is an easy fix compared to the human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is advisable to spend at least\u00a04% to 7% of the IT budget for cyber security,\u00a0and the more the merrier. One of the reasons being that many Cyber Security Expert feedback saying that lack of budget is one of the greatest challenges they face when trying to protect the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t ever wait till it happens, only start to take action. That beats the whole purpose of prevention. Human, as the weakest link in the cyber security chain, should be the main focus when it comes to implementing cyber security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
