As cybersecurity risks increase in digital business, organisations continue to struggle in attracting, retaining and, most critically, developing security talent.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security and risk<\/a> management\nleaders responsible for information security must evolve their practices\nand organisational cultures<\/a> to keep pace\nwith the digital business<\/a> era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRisk management, governance, business continuity\nand people – the most important asset – are critical elements of a successful\nrisk and security programme,\u201d says Earl Perkins, Vice President,\nAnalyst at Gartner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/a>When\nallocating resources and selecting products and services<\/a> this year, security and risk management leaders\nshould consider three important strategic planning assumptions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2022, 40% of Business Continuity\nManagement (BCM) programmes will be integrated into the digital business risk\nmanagement structure rather than exist as separate practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The momentum of Digital Transformation projects\nwithin digital business will outpace the ability of organisations to\naccommodate changes related to security. Concurrently, the growing need to\nprovide 24\/7 technology services to support digital business and\ncustomer-facing services is changing the way that organisations interact\ninternally and externally. These changes, as well as the constant threat of\ncyberattacks, will lead organisations to formalise the relationship between BCM\nand digital information security functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStakeholders should be urged to accept BCM as part\nof the organisational structure,\u201d said Perkins. \u201cManagers within the digital\nbusiness who oversee the delivery of critical activities will need to gain the\nnecessary skills to engage with resilience planning as a business-as-usual\nfunction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through 2022, 30% of large\nenterprises will build a security skills management programme including\nexperimental recruiting and talent development practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity\nrisks are increasing despite the efforts of trained security\nprofessionals. <\/a>Organisations\ncontinue to struggle with attracting, retaining and developing security talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisations\nmust change their talent development and recruiting practices to be able to\naddress missing skills. Start by building and developing a list of new\ncompetencies and skills required to support digital business initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then adapt\nshort-term skills management practices by outsourcing security functions\nto <\/a>managed security\nservice providers<\/a> (MSSPs) and\/or\ndelegating responsibilities to other internal staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2022, 75% of organisations\nthat outsource email and collaboration tools won\u2019t meet their critical recovery\nobjectives during a supplier outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email and collaboration applications are considered\nmission-critical resources for most organisations. Conducting business without\nthem can impede production, result in lost transactions and hamper crisis\nmanagement activities. When an organisation outsources these applications, many\nsuppliers do not provide recovery with short timeframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s imperative for the organisation to maintain internal control and governance over all applications used in the delivery of products and services,\u201d said Perkins. \u201cIt is also crucial to understand your vendor\u2019s recovery commitments and communication protocols for outages to ensure they meet recovery requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
