what is it?
Your cyber security posture is the current and overall state of your company’s ability to reduce cyber risk, thwart attacks, mitigate threats, and how closely you align with regulatory or compliance requirements.
Some things considered when determining your security posture:
How are you protecting your applications?
How are you protecting your laptops, desktops, servers and other workstations, both on-premise and in the cloud?
How are you protecting your sensitive data and intellectual property?
How are you protecting your networks, both on-premise, and in the cloud?
How are you protecting your physical locations?
How are you protecting and training your employees on information security best-practices?
Determining the above means reviewing your current policies, procedures, and technology that you use for information security within your company. A review of your documentation and interviews with your staff can reveal answers to the above questions in order to establish a security baseline. From there, it’s strengthening all these areas.
