Cyber Readiness
A Comprehensive Guide to Cyber Readiness in the Digital Age.
What Is Cybersecurity Readiness?
Cybersecurity preparedness is described as the ability to identify and respond successfully to computer security breaches and malicious activity, malware attacks, phishing, and data and intellectual property theft from both within the network as well as the external world. A speedier detection mechanism would minimise the amount of damage caused by an intrusion and reduce the expense of recovering from that breach. Understanding typical network activities and detecting when network operations deviate from a normal definition or baseline of activity is a critical component of cybersecurity readiness.
A cybersecurity readiness plan outlines and explains the key goals that businesses must accomplish to be considered cybersecurity ready. While not extensive, these objectives are the bare minimum necessary to provide an enterprise with an acceptable level of cybersecurity awareness and a focus on protecting vital and valuable data assets.

We assist you in better understanding your organization's threat profile and weaknesses, preparing a response strategy, and strengthening security by using real-world scenarios and simulations.
Third-Party Audit & Assessments
Growing reliance on third-party vendors and data exchange with them can expose businesses to risk while also providing hackers with another access point. We conduct third-party due diligence evaluations to identify cyber risk and make customised threat mitigation solutions.
Why Should Organisations Have A Cybersecurity Readiness Plan?
To globalise their operations, businesses saw digital transformation as the cornerstone and began spending substantially on digital infrastructure. Though this helped enterprises in increasing revenues, it also resulted in significant losses owing to a lack of a well-designed method to protect digital assets from cyber threats.
With increasingly growing attacks and new attack tactics, companies are in a constant state of the breach and must confront this grave challenge straight on. Cybersecurity readiness is an important and specialized skill. Enterprises must be prepared to respond to security breaches and cyberattacks. A strong cybersecurity readiness management strategy involves targeted, aggressive prevention that can safeguard a brand’s reputation, services, and financial position.
Use Cases For A Cyber Readiness
Fix The Known Vulnerabilities
Cyber attackers frequently target well-known network and IT product vulnerabilities. The product maker generally creates solutions or patches for these vulnerabilities, therefore patch management, which includes identifying and implementing these patches, should always be an organization's first line of security.
Incident Response Testing
Incident response is another aspect that should be checked. It is preferable to consult with important internal stakeholders about how you would respond to both a typical and one of the worst cyber incidents instead of finding it out during an attack. Assess your incident response processes, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
Back-Up Vital Systems
With the emergence of ransomware and wiper software that may erase or leave an organization's data worthless, backups should be on everyone's mind. If your organization does not have a backup plan in place, now is the time to create one. Make sure you have backup data copies kept offline, ideally off-site.
Basic Cyber Hygiene Implementation
Implementing simple cyber hygiene measures like multifactor authentication can lower attack risk by up to 90%. Within enterprises, IT and OT (operational technology) networks are increasingly intertwined, and basic cyber hygiene and zero-trust operating principles apply equally to OT systems.
