Getting a commitment from everyone in the supply chain and implementing risk analysis, rigorous standards for data classifications, contingency planning, and reviews of vendor security lay the cultural groundwork for effective cybersecurity, as highlighted by Charlie Macdonald of BPS Global Australia. Treating connected OT with the same processes and rigor as corporate IT systems can lead to a much more resilient environment. #Cybersecurity #RiskAnalysis #SupplyChain #DataSecurity #OT #ITSecurity #ContingencyPlanning

Building Resilient Supply Chains: A Cybersecurity Leader’s Perspective. Two weeks ago, I highlighted that in an interconnected ecosystem, organizations must protect themselves from threats introduced by third-party vendors. The strength of your organization depends on every link in your supply chain. Risk from third-party vendors to fourth-party dependencies can ripple through layers, causing operational, financial, and reputational harm if not managed proactively. In an article I published on Medium, I explored how cybersecurity leaders can build resilient supply chains by addressing key challenges drawing on the recent Starbucks-Blue Yonder incident, I emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to mitigate risks across the supply chain lifecycle. 🛡️ Key takeaway: Resilience starts by strengthening every link in the chain. In risk management, every connection matters. 📖 Click on the link below to read the full article. #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #ThirdPartyRisk

🔐 Unlocking the Fundamentals of Physical Security with NIST 3.10.1 🔐 We're excited to share our latest video: "Securing Physical Access: NIST Standard 3.10.1 Explained." Aimed at facility managers, IT security professionals, and anyone tasked with the critical role of safeguarding organizational assets, this comprehensive guide dives deep into the measures required to control physical access to IT systems, equipment, and operating environments. 🛡️ Why Watch This Video: In today’s interconnected world, physical security is as paramount as cybersecurity. NIST Standard 3.10.1 provides a framework for ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive areas and equipment, a cornerstone of a robust security strategy. Our video outlines actionable strategies and best practices for implementing these controls, enhancing your organization's security posture. 🔗 Watch Now: https://lnkd.in/ebvmT3Zp 🗨️ Let's Discuss: How do you manage physical access within your organization? Are there particular challenges you've faced or successes you'd like to share? Join the conversation below and let's learn from each other. 🤝 Spread the Knowledge: Sharing this video can help raise awareness about the critical role of physical security in our overall cybersecurity framework.

🔐 Understanding NIST Cybersecurity Standards – An Easy Analogy 🔐 Ever wondered how NIST standards work together to keep organizations safe? Let’s break it down using a simple analogy – protecting a house: 🏡 NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework): This is like your master plan for home security. It helps you think through everything you need to do to protect your house, from locking doors to having an emergency plan. It’s your overall strategy. ✅ NIST 800-37 (Risk Management Framework): This is your checklist. It’s how you make sure everything in your security plan is working right—testing the locks, cameras, alarms, and more. It’s all about managing risks and ensuring everything stays secure. 🔒 NIST 800-53 (Security and Privacy Controls): Think of this as the detailed rulebook that tells you exactly which locks, cameras, and alarms to install, and how strong they should be. It’s all about specific security controls to keep your house safe. 🚨 NIST 800-61 (Incident Response Guide): This is your emergency response plan. When something goes wrong—like a break-in—it guides you on how to react, fix the damage, and prevent it from happening again. It’s your action plan for incidents. Together, these frameworks and standards are like a comprehensive security team for your organization—each playing a crucial role to keep you protected from cyber threats. #Cybersecurity #NIST #RiskManagement #IncidentResponse #TechSimplified #Infosec

Welcome to part TWO of our three-part NIST InfoSeries with Christopher Hills. In this short video, Chris highlights the six core tenets of NIST CSF 2.0, and why each of them is a crucial part of the cybersecurity framework. ✔️ Govern: the newly added function, Govern, allows you to align your cybersecurity efforts with your overall goals and risk management approach – providing a holistic cybersecurity strategy for your organization. ✔️ Identify: Identify enhances your organization's cybersecurity posture by thoroughly assessing your assets, systems, data, and supply chain dependencies. ✔️ Protect: Protect implements robust safeguards for access control, data security, and technology infrastructure hardening, enabling you to gain unparalleled protection for your critical assets. ✔️ Detect: Enable timely discovery of cybersecurity incidents by implementing processes to identify and analyze potential attacks or compromises. ✔️ Respond: When an incident is detected, Respond guides your team with the appropriate actions to contain the impact. This includes incident response planning, mitigation, reporting, and effective communication. ✔️ Recover: After an incident, the Recover function helps restore normal operations and services for your organization. Swiftly bring affected assets and systems back online while communicating during the recovery process. Follow along for part three of the series when we'll be sharing three easy ways you can get started on meeting the NIST CSF 2.0 requirements. Until then, you can learn more in this recent blog post. https://lnkd.in/e4s87VUG #NIST #NIST2 #NISTFramework #Cybersecurity #Compliance #BeyondTrustInfoSeries #Governance
