The first step in effective cyber risk management is understanding the threat landscape. This includes identifying the types of threats that your business is most likely to face, and the potential impact of those threats. Common types of cyber threats include:
Once you have a general understanding of the threat landscape, the next step is to assess your business's specific cyber risk. This includes identifying potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors and determining the impact that a successful attack could have on your business. Some key areas to consider when assessing your cyber risk include:
Once you have a clear understanding of your business's cyber risk, you can begin implementing measures to protect against it. This includes both technical and non-technical controls, such as:
An incident response plan is a set of procedures and guidelines that your business can use to respond to a cyber-attack or other security incident. This should include clear roles and responsibilities and should be tested and updated on a regular basis. A comprehensive incident response plan should include:
One of the most effective ways to protect your business from cyber threats is to educate and empower your employees. This includes training them on how to recognize and respond to phishing and social engineering attacks, as well as best practices for securely handling sensitive data.

Modern cyber security threats faced by organisations today
Ransomware
This type of malware encrypts a victim's files and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and targeted and can cause significant disruption to an organization's operations.
What are some of the cyber threat vectors?
Cyber threat vectors refer to the methods or pathways through which cyber threats can enter and compromise an organization's systems and networks. Some common cyber threat vectors include:
Phishing is the practice of using deception to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware. This can include email phishing, where attackers send emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, or spear phishing, where attackers target specific individuals or organisations.
Malware is a type of malicious software that is designed to cause harm to a computer system. This can include viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, which can be delivered through infected email attachments or malicious websites.
Remote access threats include unauthorized access to an organization's systems and networks from remote locations. This can include attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in remote access software or attacks that leverage stolen credentials.
Network-based attacks include those that target an organization's networks and systems, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.
The Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming an increasingly popular attack vector. IoT devices are often poorly secured and can be easily compromised, and once an attacker has access to one device, they may be able to move laterally to other devices on the network.
Identifying Risks: The first step in our cyber risk management is to identify what risks your organization is exposed to. This will include risks from external sources such as malicious actors and hackers, as well as internal risks such as employee negligence.
Cyber risk management helps protect an organisation’s customer data and build customer trust by reducing the likelihood of a data breach.
Cyber risk management helps reduce the cost of responding to a data breach by providing the best security practices and technologies.
