How to Shift Your Cybersecurity Focus from Breach to Impact

In today’s evolving threat landscape, preventing breaches is no longer enough. Organizations must shift their focus to managing the financial and operational impacts of cyber incidents. In a recent article, published in Cybersecurity Insiders, I discuss how service availability is now a primary target and offers practical steps for adopting a resilience-driven approach.

Here are the top takeaways:

• Shift to Impact Management: Focus on mitigating the financial and operational impacts of cyber incidents rather than solely preventing breaches.
• Service Availability as a Target: Modern attacks increasingly disrupt critical operations instead of just stealing data.
• Cost-Benefit Approach: Use quantitative methods to align cybersecurity investments with business priorities and risk tolerance.
• Prioritize Mission-Critical Functions: Identify and protect systems essential for maintaining operations and minimizing disruption.
• Resilience Over Perfection: Emphasize strategies that ensure recovery and continuity, even if breaches occur.
