Thinking Forward: IT Governance & Cybersecurity for 2024 & Beyond
Last Updated: January 22, 2024
As we step into 2024, practitioners and managers of IT Governance & Cybersecurity programs are under more pressure than ever. The landscape across IT security and privacy is constantly evolving, with changes to the regulatory landscape and new cyber threats around every corner. To successfully stay ahead of the curve in managing IT Governance across your organization, an adoption of a forward-thinking approach is needed. At LogicManager, this concept is baked into every one of our solutions for IT Governance & Cybersecurity. A risk-based approach allows your organization to understand the risk landscape across all departments and deploy resources, solutions, and policies fit to the level of criticality faced. Doing so allows you to proactively manage risk and stay nimble in the face of changes ahead.
Successful IT Governance & Cybersecurity Programs Focus On:
Proactive Security Stance
Changes and threats in the cyber realm are evolving rapidly & seemingly by the day. Applying legacy policies and practices will no longer be sufficient in maintaining your security posture. Successful leaders in the IT Governance space will proactively identify and mitigate threats before they can be exploited. Additionally, a keen understanding of your current IT Risk Maturity will be crucial in moving from a reactive approach to a proactive one.
Comprehensive Risk Awareness
A forward-thinking approach will enable organizations to gain awareness of critical risks tied to their IT systems and technology. Adopting this mindset will allow for risk-based actions to improve security posture and better understand any vulnerabilities. With a better understanding of the total risk picture, resources can be better allocated to account for any up or downstream impact.
Centralized IT Risk Management
The centralization of IT Risk Management will be a critical component in setting your organization up for success. This allows organizations to identify, assess, and manage risks that could harm customers and stakeholders with greater efficiency and effectiveness. Doing so will allow you to not only protect your systems and processes, but also your reputation.
Regulatory Compliance Expertise
Corporate governance is playing a more critical role in risk management than ever before. Forward-thinking organizations are staying aware of the changing regulatory landscape and continually ensure compliance to avoid fines or penalties from governing bodies. This includes not only identifying changes to regulatory standards, but also internally knowing who the proper stakeholders are to kick off workflows designed to update policies, procedures, and controls.
Best Practice Alignment
Adopting this model of IT Governance and Cybersecurity management will more easily allow organizations to align their IT policies with best practice frameworks. Applying industry-recognized best practices will ensure that you are strengthening your security posture and taking a proactive approach against cyber risks.
Proactive Incident Response
A forward-thinking mindset emphasizes taking a proactive approach to Incident Response. Rather than waiting for something to go awry, your organization from the top down is actively assessing gaps in process, policy, or procedures and addressing items most likely to manifest in a critical way.
