Global corporations and small businesses are equally likely to fall prey to cyber-attacks. These crimes emphasize the importance of enhanced enterprise security, which starts with a cybersecurity risk assessment. While technology supports many functions of modern business, it exposes the organization to cyber vulnerabilities. While many think the Information Technology (IT) department is responsible for managing this risk, a true cybersecurity assessment is done by a third party assessment team and encompasses more than typical IT functions. A cybersecurity assessment addresses the myriad of complex and growing compliance regulations.
Threats to an organization include not just fines and penalties from non compliance, but also factors such as insider threat, security architecture shortcomings, inadequate training, and lack of documentation.
