Making cyber security a strategic business priority
Five years ago, cyber security wasn't something you'd necessarily associate with daily business practice. Lines of code felt meaningless and the concept itself still seemed futuristic. Most companies were unwilling to overhaul their entire strategies to combat this potential threat, and an 'it won't happen to me' attitude was commonplace. No longer can security be viewed as a prohibited silo residing outside of key boardroom discussions. An organisation's security strategy must be aligned with business strategy and integral to the senior leadership's decision making process. For organisations to operate safely in the contemporary threat landscape, they need to make sure they are consistently evaluating the effectiveness of their defences to be as secure as possible. At the same time they must ensure that they are utilising the most modern solutions and have the right expertise at hand, explains Lee James of Rackspace.
