Establishing a proactive governance framework
Industry experts emphasise that adopting a proactive and structured approach is crucial. Establishing governance frameworks, such as the updated NIST2 can lay the foundation.
This enables organisations to define decision rights and processes while embedding cybersecurity into their overarching risk management strategies. Yet, this transformation isn’t without its hurdles, particularly when it comes to resource constraints and the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI.
Therefore, one of the first steps for organisations is transitioning from a reactive to a proactive stance in cybersecurity governance. Formalising a governance framework like NIST CSF 2.0 provides clarity on roles, processes, and control implementations.
“Governance frameworks ensure that cybersecurity efforts are strategic, structured, and scalable,” notes Michael. This structured approach ensures that cybersecurity measures are not only effective but also aligned with business goals.
Governance frameworks also facilitate continuous monitoring, a crucial aspect in today’s fast-paced threat environment.
