**Tech Experts**

Learn how to strengthen your organization's cyber resilience by exploring the intersection of cybersecurity, bad bot activity, and employee training.

Key takeaways
  • Service accounts are a high area of risk, considering their access and credentials.
  • Reputational risk can be severe and affect customer retention, while maintaining customer trust through compliance like GDPR can benefit organizations.
  • Insurance companies are learning to ask more in-depth questions and perform longer questionnaires.
  • Strong cyber resilience requires organizations to address employee training, backup strategies, and data encryption, while minimizing exposure to potential breaches.
  • Supply chain risks can lead to further breaches and business disruption.
  • Organizational change can help in resilience, but it may be forced or influenced by industry-specific standards, such as NIST and GDPR.
  • Cyber insurance coverage often involves reporting requirements, underwriters, and rigorous vetting of an organization’s defenses.
  • Implementing EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions, scanning, testing, penetration testing, and other regular assessments can contribute to cyber maturity.
  • Accountability within an organization and among stakeholders can also positively impact cyber resilience.
  • Traditional defense strategies, like firewalls, have been rendered insufficient by advances in technology and attackers’ persistence.
  • The market may soften with better terms and premiums for those showing stronger cyber maturity and preparedness.
  • Awareness is key for managing employee training, but more must be done to prioritize data handling, patching, and security management.
  • ISO and similar frameworks provide standard guidelines for organizations, although subjectively applying them depends on risk factors.
  • Cyber resilience involves many elements, including governance, compliance, monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management, along with identifying and addressing blind spots and exposures.
