How to Build a strong Cybersecurity Strategy

Building a strong cybersecurity strategy is not a destination but an ongoing journey that requires vision, adaptability, and collaboration. It begins with taking stock of your ecosystem to understand the evolving threat landscape and recognizing that cybersecurity is not just an IT issue, but a business imperative. From there, it’s about aligning your strategy with organizational goals, investing in the right tools and talent, and fostering a culture of security awareness at every level. Along the way, challenges will arise, but each obstacle should be viewed as an opportunity to learn, innovate, and strengthen your defences. Kevin will share insights and practical steps from his own journey to help guide you on your path, ensuring your organization is not only protected but also resilient in the face of an ever-changing digital world.
