Cyber Risk Assessment is the initial step, where you identify your vulnerabilities and assess the potential impact of cyberattacks. Here's a breakdown of the process:
Identify Assets:This involves listing everything critical to your business - data, systems, hardware etc.
Recognize Threats:Consider what could potentially harm these assets - malware, phishing attacks etc.
Evaluate Vulnerabilities: Analyze how these threats could exploit weaknesses in your systems and processes.
Impact Assessment:Estimate the potential damage from a successful cyberattack - financial loss, reputational damage etc.
Risk Prioritization: Based on likelihood and impact, prioritize the risks that need immediate attention.
Cyber Risk Management takes the findings from the assessment and puts them into action:
Develop Controls:Implement security measures to address the identified risks like firewalls, access controls etc.
Implement Safeguards:Train employees on cybersecurity best practices and implement data backup procedures.
Monitor and Test: Continuously monitor your systems for vulnerabilities and test your incident response plan.
Review and Update:Regularly review your risk assessments and update your controls as needed.
Risk Prioritization: Based on likelihood and impact, prioritize the risks that need immediate attention.
