DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS?
Start by asking the right questions.
Every organization has a completely unique cyber risk fingerprint. Unfortunately, this is an advantage for attackers, who are adept at finding and exploiting individual vulnerabilities that often are easy to overlook. It also means one-size-fits-all solutions can leave gaps in your attack surface while blinding you to areas where you may still be exposed. To be truly secure, you need to ask the right questions, implement tailored solutions, and proactively monitor and update your technology and strategies over time.
SIX QUESTIONS MOST BOARDS
CAN’T ANSWER.
Are we as secure as we think we are?
Do we have material cyber risks?
How do we compare to our peers?
Are we spending enough—or too much?
Is our cyber risk aligned to our real risk?
What do we need to do?
CAN YOU RECOGNIZE A GOOD SECURITY POSTURE?
It may seem counterintuitive, but many business leaders have a difficult time identifying “good” security—especially within their own organization.
Problem 1: You’re too close, but far from informed
It’s often hard to spot security gaps from within your organization, even when the potential risks are easily recognizable from an external perspective. But more often, this failure to recognize risk comes from a lack of accurate, actionable, and intelligible information: If your SecOps lead tells you you’re good to go, why question it?
Problem 2: If you can’t assess your risk, you can’t evaluate your methods—or justify investments
Simply knowing that an undefined risk probably exists isn’t generally going to motivate your CFO to increase security investment. If you aren’t able to put actual, real-world numbers against potential scenarios, there’s no way to evaluate what you’re currently doing, much less prevent future problems.
Problem 3: Risk is increasing, but you may not realize how much it increased for you
Both the number of attacks and the financial impact of breaches continue to rise at an exponential rate. Without a consistent way to measure your risk over time, your organization is forced to essentially play catch-up—which gives attackers an edge.
“The average cost of a data breach rose from $3.86 million in 2020 to $4.24 million in 2021.”
Solution: Better security starts with better information
Ostrich Cyber-Risk was developed to give you a smarter, simpler and more consistent way to measure your risk over time, identify key threats and their potential financial impact, and communicate the data to key stakeholders. It’s specifically designed to build a bridge of understanding between executives and security leaders and give you the tools and data you need to confidently develop a stronger security posture.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OSTRICH AND A WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH TO CYBERSECURITY?
When faced with a risky situation, ostriches don’t actually hide their heads in the sand. The nearly two-millennia-old idiom likely originates from roman historian Pliny the Elder, who also wrote at length about men with the heads of dogs. So, grain of salt. Like the ostrich, it’s easy to misunderstand cyber risk—especially if you aren’t getting the right information.
