Have you ever found yourself in a scenario where you know what you want to do, you know what results you want, but you are not equipped or even sure how to do it? This often happens when considering cybersecurity.
Organizations have a security plan they’ve invested in, so they know what to do. But they don’t always have the expertise or experience to execute the plan – the how. A plan on paper is just a piece of paper – you are still leaving your organization vulnerable if implementation goes awry.
For instance, you have taken the first few steps and developed a plan. You know you need training, new infrastructure, along with some hardware and software updates. But even when you know what you should be doing, it can be hard to choose and make it happen!
Plus, you are most likely wearing multiple hats already. Is cybersecurity something that will be put on hold as other priorities come to the surface? This is why taking action is usually one of the biggest barriers to having a successful cybersecurity plan. It’s the implementation of the how, and it’s an additional investment that is often deprioritized by organizations.
Without fully following through, we often don’t get the results we want. For example, a psychology study states that 92% of those who declare a New Year’s goal don’t follow through completely on the goal and end up falling short. It’s similar to how many organizations declare cybersecurity as a priority, but do not follow through with full strategy integration and plan implementation.
When uncertainty arises, expertise is needed. Without it, you’re guessing. And that’s unlikely to help you achieve your desired outcomes. Nobody wants their cybersecurity to be a guessing game.
If you aren’t sure of the tools required and how they work together, your plan probably won’t function as intended. Investing in your organization’s technology buildout ensures the tools are suited for the job, set up correctly, and running properly.
