Concluding the series we’ve been writing with our friends at SurfWatch Labs on applying the Preparedness Cycle to Cyber Risk Management, I had the opportunity to talk with SurfWatch Labs’ Jeff Peters about some common issues, best practices, and more in a short Cyber Chat Podcast.
The Preparedness Cycle, which is often used to prepare for traditional threats, can also be implemented to help organizations prepare for cyber threats. “The preparedness cycle has been around for quite a long time now and it has been used by the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and other federal, state, and local government agencies as part of managing the preparedness process. The idea of applying it towards cyber risk is maybe something people don’t necessarily think about right away, but it certainly applies very well.”
