Security News > 2024 > January > Proactive cybersecurity: A strategic approach to cost efficiency and crisis management

We examine the benefits of adopting a proactive cybersecurity approach, particularly in terms of cost efficiency and crisis management, and explore the impact of offensive security testing on compliance and zero-day response.

A zero trust approach to cybersecurity has become the go-to model for many organizations because it embraces a framework that layers nicely across every possible threat vector.

While clear communications with stakeholders have always been important, the US Securities and Exchange Commission recently established new rules requiring public companies to disclose their cybersecurity governance capabilities, making it crucial that organizations know how to accurately define and disclose material cybersecurity incidents.

What are the top benefits of adopting a proactive cybersecurity strategy, especially regarding cost efficiency and crisis management?

Adopting a proactive cybersecurity strategy allows the time and space for organizations to make data-driven decisions about risk prioritization and resource allocation to mitigate negative outcomes.

Having a proactive mindset on security will help organizations identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they arise, can increase visibility into potential data exposures, and can ease the burden on internal IT teams in times of crisis.
