Just as no business becomes an overnight sensation, neither does an organization's security posture. It takes time, patience and hard work. You must start with the basics, work up to advanced moves and commit to the business for life. In my security plan “Crawl, Walk, Run,” here are the basic steps to obtaining and maintaining a fit and healthy network.
We last shared what to do to increase your security posture once you have the basic steps in place. Now we'll look at what you need to do to get your network in A+ shape.
When implementing the steps, be methodical with your process — crawl, walk, run — and don't try to do them out of order. If they are done out of order, you won't have a strong foundation, and the remediation efforts won't work as well because there will be too much to fix. The repairs can't all be done at once, so they ultimately slow down their security progress.
When you complete the run stage, it's like having a black belt in cybersecurity. However, to stay ahead of attackers your security practice should never end. You must constantly keep advancing your cybersecurity practices to outrun your attackers.
