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.
