Stay ahead of cyber threats with security skill building by info.odysseyx@gmail.com October 31, 2024 written by info.odysseyx@gmail.com October 31, 2024 0 comment 0 views 0 As organizations around the world battle increasing cyber threats, one thing is clear: Building security skills is everyone’s responsibility. And cybersecurity isn’t just a concern in October – it’s a year-round concern. Sophisticated attacks are becoming more common and costly. Combating this requires a comprehensive strategy that invests not only in cutting-edge technology, but also in the knowledge and skills of your team. The level of your team’s security skills can determine whether you incur significant financial and reputational losses or successfully defend against malicious actors. Unfortunately, there is a growing security skills gap that can limit an organization’s ability to respond. That’s why we published the paper. Stay ahead of cyber threats by building security technology In Microsoft Learn, we share how prioritizing building your organization’s security skills can help strengthen your defenses against cyber risks and remain resilient when threats arise. To be resilient, leaders must address these important realities: Security is not just a technical issue human being problem. At Microsoft, we’ve overcome prominent security threats, evolved to meet the changing security landscape, and faced the challenge of maintaining security in a world where technology never stops. These lived experiences have sparked our own security transformation and a renewed commitment to corporate responsibility. And we’ve learned that it’s important to achieve the right balance of investments in security across people and technology. So how do you ensure your team is at a sufficient level of competency? This is especially true when 76% of organizations believe that “security skills are the most difficult skill to recruit and retain,” and 78% say they “lack the internal skills needed to achieve a full security skillset.” Are your cybersecurity goals achievable?” A functional approach to building security skills: Strengthening your security skills program means giving people the tools they need to succeed. It’s not an easy question, but we’ve discovered that there are two important actions that are very important in your security technology planning. Building a Learning-First Culture—Leaders must make skill development a condition for collective and individual success. For example, at Microsoft, we encourage leaders to create time and space for their teams to learn, develop role-based skills plans, and emphasize the value of learning from each other. location Initiatives to build security skills at the center of your cybersecurity strategy—Building security skills for both technical and non-technical staff should be championed at the highest levels of the organization and should include a clearly defined skills path for designated teams. Skills efforts should focus on building a foundational skill set as well as a deep body of knowledge across the team. First, examine your organization’s structure to determine what skills each team needs to learn or expand on. It’s also a good idea to keep in mind that teams need to work together to strengthen security measures across the organization. Because security skills are not one-size-fits-all, it is helpful to assign responsibilities and required skills to each team, including business groups, IT, and data professionals. To be successful, everyone in your organization must develop a security mindset. Key points can help you stay on course. The security technology program you implement is only as strong as your organization’s ability and willingness to implement it. But there are a few key points that can help you set the stage for success. By setting the expectation that everyone in your organization is responsible for digital security, you will be in a good position to adopt and implement a plan to build security skills as a core component of your cybersecurity strategy.
