In a world where even refrigerators and coffee makers are internet-enabled, it’s hardly shocking that in today’s enterprise, both the number and variety of networked devices have exploded. Information technology, operational technology, and internet of things assets are everywhere.

The once-reliable model of perimeter-based cybersecurity protecting a relatively small number of servers in a handful of datacenters has become a relic of the past.

The inability to identify and track technology assets—including software, hardware, and third-party applications and services—and the failure to appreciate their critical interdependencies—increases your risk of being under-protected. Key areas of concern are:

Regulatory compliance

Keep filings accurate with more visibility and oversight to avoid repercussions.

Digital trust

Build stakeholder trust by addressing security, privacy and responsible AI.

Asset visibility

Identify and prioritize asset remediations to reduce loss and improve performance.

Learn the six steps to future-proof cyber resiliency in your organization

1

Create your risk profile - Assess your visibility of assets and create classification taxonomies.

2

Identify and categorize your assets - Tag assets to appropriate products and services they support and assign risk levels.

3

Define a tech governance infrastructure - Standardize a structure for storing, analyzing, and aggregating assets and addressing vulnerabilities.

4

Explore possible solutions - Tooling and automation can increase efficient asset management and bolster resilience.

5

Establish implementation and governance - Have a clear vision for desired outcomes and a map to get you there.

6

Remember the human touch - Design your approach with people in mind, and address their needs and pain points.
