No doubt, it may seem hard to wonder
at this point -well entered into the
third millennium, as we are-; but it is
not less true that happenings invite to wonder it more and more: is it time to
surrender? Is it time to leave “digital”? Actually, is it worth for
organizations to keep suffering the cyber misfortunes that some of them are
suffering, as a consequence of willing to keep playing in today’s connected
world? We want to think yes; we want to think that even under such circumstances it is
worth. In fact, it seems that there is no alternative, yet, if one wants to
keep being innovator, competitive, etc. But, at the same time, it is not
strange that more than one -being a tech-believer,
or not- be wondering to do it [to leave it]. (Just remember the program “Clean Slate” that we mentioned a few
months ago, in the issue number 88 of our “Newsletter”. A program by DARPA
aimed to “re-found” Computing as we know it today, to make it safer).
The truth is that before such
an overall panorama, with news constantly referring to cyber incidents, announces
like the ones Fundación Borredá is bringing today comfort. The first
conclusions of its recent study -not
released yet- on cyber security in
Spain’s companies seem optimistic. Goodness!
Anyway, be cautious. Complacency
usually is not a good advisor; so have your homework done and follow the
recommendation Korn Ferry is doing to the electricity sector: provide you with
talent -in a moment of lack of it- both, in security and technology, in business
acumen and communication skills. Provide yourself and all who have something to
say on cyber security within your organization (start with directors)! Get them
ready for any eventuality they might have to face! Moreover with the sales
prices that those tools able to take advantage of your industrial control
systems’ vulnerabilities have in the black market.
Ah, and as a part of your
preparedness, do not forget to comply with legal requirements in matter of [cyber]
prevention and protection! Fernando Sevillano gives us a series of recipes to
get it done.
