Friday Conversation: Enhancing Cyber Resilience: Key Takeaways from Chris and James' CyberHub Podcast Interview
Exploring Frameworks, Controls, and Strategies for a Secure Organization
Podcast Summary
In this insightful CyberHub Podcast episode, hosts Chris and James discuss the critical importance of cyber resilience and practical strategies organizations can implement to strengthen their security posture. Here are the key talking points:
1. Cyber Resilience Essentials:
Chris emphasizes a dual approach to resilience, leveraging both frameworks and practical tactics.
Framework Approach: Following the CIS Top 20 framework, focusing on the first 10 controls to build a resilient network.
Brass Tacks: The critical must-haves include:
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Data Visibility and Processing
Backups
Security Culture and Awareness
2. Human Element and Security Culture:
Security awareness training remains essential to ensure employees understand the importance of cybersecurity.
Programs like KnowBe4 make training actionable for both work and personal life.
Internal security communication and marketing are crucial for engaging different teams with customized messages.
3. Access Management and Employee Monitoring:
Monitoring employees with admin access and ensuring the separation of work and personal identities helps mitigate risks.
Tools like 1Password can aid in managing identities and maintaining strong password hygiene.
4. Backup and Restore Best Practices:
Testing backups regularly is vital to ensure a smooth recovery.
Organizations must have a clear understanding of the average time required to restore different business functions.
A comprehensive Incident Response (IR) and Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan should include resource allocation for restoration.
5. Zero Trust Rebuilding and Application Order:
A zero-trust approach to rebuilding post-incident ensures a clean, resilient restart.
Organizations must know the proper application order for rebuilding environments to avoid headaches.
6. Tabletop Exercises and Real-World Scenarios:
Tabletop exercises provide valuable insights into mission-critical applications and functions.
Learning from real-world incidents like the ransomware attack on the City of Atlanta and disaster recovery exercises in Florida helps in effective planning.
7. Managed Service Provider Support:
Small businesses should leverage Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for IR and restoration support.
Having an MSSP in place ensures quicker mobilization of resources during a disaster.
8. Asset Management:
Asset management is fundamental for effective recovery and resiliency planning.
Understanding how the business functions and makes money is key to prioritizing security measures.
9. Frameworks and Controls:
The CIS Top 20 framework provides a solid foundation for building resilience.
NIST and MITRE frameworks can complement this with governance and operational guidelines.
Top 5 Controls:
MFA (preferably using an app over SMS)
Security Awareness and Culture
Backups
Identity and Access Management
Asset Management
10. Closing Thoughts:
Chris and James conclude with reminders to celebrate Mother's Day and the importance of appreciating mothers everywhere.
They encourage listeners to stay cyber-safe and provide feedback through social media.
This episode offers a comprehensive guide to building cyber resilience and is a must-listen for anyone in cybersecurity or IT leadership.
