Cyber security is a matter for the boardroom, not the IT team because, cyber security is firmly a business issue, not a technology one

.



There are many aspects to an effective corporate battle plan to defend against a cyber attack, but success is dependent on direction from the top.

1. The first step is to develop a cyber security policy that the leadership team can understand, take seriously, and enforce through accountable management. 
2. Another step is to begin discussing cyber threats in board meetings, which will allow the business to develop a robust approach to ensuring the organisation’s digital security.
3. Get some qualified people from outside to shoot holes in the plans. Find a firm that will tell the hard and uncomfortable truths that technical staff may not mention
4. Finally, at the heart of the problem is a shortage of skills. We really cannot wait for this to fix itself. Those in senior positions need to educate themselves, and overcome their fear of cyber.

Ultimately, cyber security is firmly a business issue, not a technology one
