Surviving a Cyber Attack
#Question4Group - What is your organization doing to anticipate and survive a cyber attack like the one we recently experienced?
An acronym to guide you to be prepared and to survive inevitable attacks.
We learn lessons every time there is a catastrophe or potential catastrophe like this. I say that we learn them, but I mean that we could learn them if we would pay attention, reflect, consider, plan, execute, and anticipate.
Lessons we would all acknowledge, but we cannot say we have learned until we implement strategies are:
1. We are vulnerable and getting more vulnerable daily because we are growing more dependent upon technology.
2. We have sources and resources for protection. They cost time and money, but they can help eliminate, ameliorate, or minimize great loss.
3. The old Cold War notion of the domino effect applies to our digital world and networks today. When one sector goes down, all are potentially effected.
4. The suffering that is possible when the network crashes does not simply plague the powerful; it touches the most vulnerable. It is human suffering.
5. The time to plan for crisis is when we are not in a crisis.
6. Those who are prepared, recover more quickly.
7. Not just big companies, but small businesses and individuals need backup plans for storage and for operations.
