Welcome to the Risk Management Radar Blog Series
Introduction:
The cyber domain simultaneously portends tremendous opportunity for increased capability and productivity, and a spectrum of threats and risks that threaten every business. This is especially true for small to medium sized businesses (SMB). These businesses are known for their great innovation and creativity, agility, and efficiency but not for their great reservoir of resources – especially financial resources.
Nonetheless, every small business has a fiduciary responsibility to manage the risks associated with the cyber domain. So, what are these risks? Are they losses from cyberattacking which is now an everyday occurrence? Are they hidden liabilities? Are they regulations that if not met can result in fines or disqualification? Or is it the risk of falling behind the competition? The answer, of course, is all the above.
So, what is the right approach for small businesses? Well, in a word, start. First recognize that your capability in the cyber domain must become a key competency. Define the cyber capability that you need for your business – today and in the future. Then devise and implement a plan that allows a reasonable on-ramp with a blueprint or framework that allows your cyber capability to grow with the company’s needs in the market place.
