Resilient Cybersecurity

Setting the Foundations

As discussed in the previous chapter, we now understand the current state, which isn’t good, and we have a lot of work ahead of us to build or reconstruct our cyber-resilient strategy. Before getting started on this journey, it’s important to lay the foundation of what the strategy for your program will look like. To do this, we will cover some very important subjects that will help you better set the foundations to allow greater success for your broader cybersecurity program.

As a cybersecurity leader, it’s never been more important to integrate yourself with the broader organization. This means you need to learn the business inside out and build relationships throughout, including the top levels. In your role as a leader, you will need to build positive relationships within every function of your organization including the C-suite. Without these relationships, your success will become an uphill battle. Although you don’t need...

Learn the Business

The role of a cybersecurity leader within an organization has significantly changed and grown in a short amount of time. The cybersecurity function is no longer a standalone function that has traditionally operated in silo from the rest of the organization. The role of cybersecurity within the organization touches every aspect of your business and is one that requires new evolving qualities. A cybersecurity leader has traditionally been thought of as a technical type of leader, but this role has shifted to become more of a business acumen that can represent risk at the broader organization level. The need to translate and relate technical skills still holds incredible value at this level. Having both these qualities is becoming a requirement for this role. Because of the importance of cybersecurity, we are seeing a significant increase in the need for C-level representation at the executive and boardroom levels, and this role as we know it today is the Chief Information...

What about Finances?

Everyone’s favorite topic: managing the budget. As you continue to grow your career into management and leadership, you will find the responsibility of financial management continues to become a larger responsibility. The reality is that everything about an organization revolves around the bottom line, otherwise known as the income. If there is no money available, a company simply cannot operate. Part of your role as a cybersecurity leader plays into the larger organization as it relates to finances. You will need to manage a set budget, you will continuously be challenged against that budget, and you will always be asked for ways to cut your budget. It is important that you manage finances efficiently and always be one step ahead when needing to justify the need to retain and potentially increase your budget needs.

Whether your organization is public, nonprofit, or private, you will need to understand financial management at the broader organization...

Building Blocks for Your Cybersecurity Program

To provide additional visibility into how your cybersecurity program looks and what is involved, you will need to provide some form of representation of the program. Within this representation, you will want to highlight the specific functions needed to run your cybersecurity program. This can be done in many ways and may differ per organization and different industries you are in, but having this in place helps provide your leadership teams and the broader organization with better insight into how the cybersecurity program is being executed and operates on a day-to-day basis.

As we work through this book, we will follow the premise of ten core functions that I believe every organization will foundationally need as the building blocks for their cybersecurity program. These core functions are:

  • Cybersecurity architecture
  • Identity and access management
  • Cybersecurity operations
  • Cybersecurity awareness, training...

Defining the Cybersecurity Organization

Before going into more detail on the organization’s structure, roles, and responsibilities, it is important that you spend some time creating a mission and vision for the cybersecurity organization. As we previously discussed, there will be (or should be) a mission and vision at the organization level and there is a high probability that other functions/units within the organization have their own. Having one for the cybersecurity organization will help the broader organization understand your purpose, values, and goals being delivered for the organization. This is something that can also be shared among other leaders within the organization and something that can be included in any presentations or materials being shared with the broader organization.

A simple cybersecurity mission and vision could look something like this:

Mission

Protect and secure the people, assets, and data at “your company” from the ongoing...

Change Management

One extremely important component that tends to be overlooked frequently is that of change management. Not just within the cybersecurity program, but the broader organization. We tend to find ourselves so busy with the need to move fast that change management is either rushed without thought or bypassed altogether. It is critical that you understand the importance of change management and its place as part of the overall organization and the cybersecurity program. Some benefits that come to mind with good change management include:

  • It ensures that testing has been completed, the change is documented, and backout plans are in place.
  • It provides an avenue to ensure communication is occurring across the broader organization.
  • It allows your support center to be better prepared.
  • It reduces risk by following a documented process with the correct controls in place.
  • It enforces changes to follow a schedule that everyone agrees to versus...

Summary

Ensuring you spend time to implement or review the current foundations in place will only set the program up for greater success. With the dynamics of cybersecurity constantly changing and evolving, you will want to have frequent reviews of the broader program to stay relevant. Being a cybersecurity leader today requires an understanding of the entire organization. You need to learn how to navigate the organization efficiently and build positive relationships throughout.

In addition, translating risk into business terms will only provide greater advantages as you collaborate more with the business. As with any leader, you will need to understand finances and how to manage them. Your program will continue to evolve and the need for funding will be an ongoing requirement as part of your role.

Laying the core building blocks for your cybersecurity program is something that must be completed by all cybersecurity leaders. Having this in place provides greater transparency...

Thanks to recent inclement weather, I was able to read Resilient Cybersecurity quicker than I anticipated. The writing style was clear and made for an easy read. The book was great for a person in the mid-career phase. The book excelled at identifying and contextualizing all the elements of a quality cyber program. I would estimate a third of the material I was up to date on, a third was material I had encountered before but needed a review of, and the final third was material I had to sit and think about. So, there was plenty to learn. My three biggest take aways were technology moves much faster than I realized, identifying my areas for improvement, and the role GRC plays in a quality cyber programAfter reading this book I realized just how difficult it is to stay up to date on all the latest trends and best practices. I knew ZTA was a topic of discussion, but I had no idea how mature the models had become. I knew identity was becoming the new cyber “border”, but I had no idea how advanced identity as a service had become (Microsoft Entra). In short, this book was a fantastic way to catch back up.Resilient Cybersecurity covered a wide array of topics. As each of these topics make up part of a cyber program, I found it helpful in identifying the areas I need additional work. For myself, it is clear I struggle with identity and access management, and cybersecurity operations (SOC) activities. The book gave enough details on both topics to help guide future investigation.Finally, GRC, an area I worked in for the last two years. I knew what GRC was coming into this, but there was still much to learn from this book. Without rewriting the book, I would simply say I was surprised at how well positioned the GRC team is to manage metrics and serve as the bridge to the executive leadership team.Thank you for the book and I look forward to your future work.

Resilient Cybersecurity is a Great Read, as you navigate through this book you will be enlightened with how to learn about the evolving and ever changing flow of cybersecurity.The books gives very detailed information on emerging threats and how to protect and mitigate them. Information on AI will fascinate you, and show the possibility of future use. There are example of data breaches that happened in the past to prepare you on how to handle them and eradicate them. If you had a Skill sets for a while, this book will inform you if they are outdated and the fact that you may have to change or upgrade your skills. It also shows you that some of the previous cyber security positions have either been merged or eliminated.New challenges have surfaced in the innovative hiring process that are addressed. Everything from building your own roadmap to create your own cyber security firm to user awareness,training and testing along with risk mitigation. This is one book that I found fascinating. A added jewel to your cybersecurity book library.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
