Building a cyber strategy plan

A cyber strategy is a documented approach toward various aspects of cyberspace. It is mostly developed to address the cybersecurity needs of an entity by addressing how data, networks, technical systems, and people will be protected. An effective cyber strategy is normally on par with the cybersecurity risk exposure of an entity. It covers all the possible attack landscapes that can be targeted by malicious parties. Cybersecurity has been taking center stage in most cyber strategies.
