You're launching a new product amidst cybersecurity concerns. How will you address stakeholder worries?

A segurança cibernética é um desafio constante para todas as empresas, independentemente do tamanho. Um framework de segurança cibernética na avaliação de riscos será essencial na tomada de decisão, é como um mapa que guia sua organização indicando os melhores caminhos para proteger seus dados e sistemas. Um framework fornece uma estrutura e um conjunto de diretrizes para identificar, analisar, avaliar e tratar os riscos cibernéticos. Ele ajuda a garantir que sua organização esteja tomando as medidas adequadas para proteger seus ativos digitais. Sugiro a utilização de princípios da ISO31000 e COSO para a elaboração do framework.

Acredito que uma squad, com representantes de todos os times, é importante para mapear os riscos tendo o time de prevenção e cibernética trazendo as principais práticas de vulnerabilidade do mercado e fazer a análise interna. Como plano, importante ter um script de stress test pra identificar na prática durante um piloto controlado (friend & family) e listar em ordem de impacto e plano de ação mitigante para sanar os riscos.

Creating a Risk and Control matrix would be the frist step of designing a potential product even before launching. Doing a risk analysis at the launch phase can lead to additional costs for mitigating potential cybersecurity related risks. It oculd also lead to alunch delays especailly in regards to testing the efficinecy of the controls used for mitigating the identified risks. In the wrost case scenario if a new vulnerability is identified at the launch phase,then potential solutions can include creating patches for the newly identified risks and delpoying them during downtime.

We can consider some points like: Emphasize rigorous security measures, compliance with industry standards, and proactive risk management. Provide clear details on data protection strategies, continuous monitoring, and response plans. Reassure stakeholders by showcasing expert involvement and commitment to safeguarding sensitive information.

I would check with my industry colleagues, then hire an expert consultant in cybersecurity to perform the testing and provide risk analytics before launching.

Tailored tactics like encryption and access controls address identified cyber risks. Regular updates and employee training on best practices further strengthen your defenses. This proactive approach builds stakeholder confidence by demonstrating your commitment to safeguarding their interests.

Definido o apetite ao risco e deliberadas formas de tratamento dos riscos associados, a garantia da eficiência e dos resultados de mitigação só serão possíveis a partir de um aculturamento e engajamento da empresa quanto a gestão de riscos. Treinar e mostrar a importância para a estratégia do negócios os plano de mitigação são essenciais.

To mitigate cybersecurity risks when launching a new product, several tactics can be implemented. Firstly, adopting advanced encryption to protect sensitive data is essential. Next, conducting regular security audits and penetration testing helps identify and rectify vulnerabilities. Implementing robust firewalls and intrusion detection systems can prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, it is crucial to establish strict security policies and train employees on safe practices. Lastly, maintaining a well-defined incident response plan ensures that the company can quickly react to any threat, minimizing potential impacts.

Mitigation tactics in cybersecurity must be precisely aligned with identified risks. Employing methods such as encryption, stringent access controls, and consistent security updates are fundamental steps. Equally important is fostering a culture of awareness and education among your team about cybersecurity best practices, as human error often poses significant vulnerabilities.

Effective mitigation is a blend of technical measures and informed, vigilant personnel.

Absolutely correct. A layered cybersecurity mitigation strategy is essential to effectively address cyber risks. This involves a combination of technical controls, like encryption and access controls, along with user education to minimize human error.

Na minha visão, faz parte ainda da etapa da análise de riscos o planejamento quanto aos potenciais planos de resposta. Isso é importante não só para deixar claro que, por melhor que seja a metodologia e os controles, a mitigação completa dos riscos é utópica. Sendo assim, faz parte da cultura de gerenciamento de riscos a rápida identificação e ação de correção, tendo no plano de resposta a incidentes o seu melhor aliado, desde que este esteja em constante reavaliação e testes.

A comprehensive strategy to address stakeholders cybersecurity concerns is key. This can include conducting rigorous security testing, obtaining third-party certifications, and establishing transparent communication to keep stakeholders informed about proactive measures. Additionally, it is important to offer ongoing support and updates to ensure the product remains secure against emerging threats.

To ensure an effective response to cybersecurity incidents when launching a new product, establish a well-structured incident response plan. Form a dedicated team of qualified security professionals to quickly identify, contain, and recover from incidents. Maintain clear communication with stakeholders, including customers and regulatory authorities, to minimize reputational damage and ensure compliance. Detailed documentation and post-incident analysis are essential for improving security strategies and preventing future incidents.

We received an alert about security breach. and there was a panic in the operation room. As Operations Security lead, I became a digital detective. hours of analyzing logs, containing the damage. The pressure was harsh. But our team, a digital SWAT unit, persevered. 48 hours later, the breach was contained, lessons learned. No medals, but a secure network – a victory in the silent war of Operations Security.

You're right. Even with strong defenses, security incidents can happen. An IRP is a crucial tool to ensure a swift and coordinated response, minimizing damage and maintaining stakeholder confidence.

To address stakeholder concerns regarding cybersecurity, emphasize that it is an ongoing process requiring continuous monitoring and proactive measures. Regular security audits and penetration testing are essential for adapting to evolving threats. Communicate transparently about your cybersecurity efforts, providing updates on system health and incident responses. This builds trust and demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding their interests. Highlight the use of automated tools for real-time threat detection and compliance with security standards, ensuring stakeholders that their data is protected and that you are prepared to respond swiftly to any incidents.

Absolutely. Cybersecurity is a continuous process that requires ongoing vigilance. Regular security audits, penetration testing, and monitoring are essential to identify and address evolving threats.

Com certeza, ter um processo contínuo com dados on line, um timende analytics que atuem de forma rápida em processos operacionais e sistêmicos e um processo contínuo com dashboards e KPIs para acompanhar a performance dos processos em produção.

This really is a full time job for whoever is doing this. Someone I refer to as a Cybersecurity Czar. The job description of a post-market Cybersecurity Czar is to conduct system monitoring, monitor the CISA database and similar for new vulnerabilities that pop up in the included code and off the shelf components and feed that information back into the design and development process so that the problems can be fixed in a timely manner. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Czar is the one who coordinates penetration testing -- ideally by a third party to prove the ongoing integrity of the system.

Key Elements for Cybersecurity Engagement • Regular communication about product and data protection steps. • Sharing risk analysis findings and mitigation strategies. • Listening to stakeholder concerns and feedback. • Maintaining transparency and addressing concerns. • Fostering open dialogue to build trust and demonstrate cybersecurity dedication. • Understanding stakeholder perspectives and priorities for risk assessment and mitigation planning. • Building trust by showing value and commitment to protecting interests. • Demonstrating commitment to proactive and transparent cybersecurity practices.

Cybersecurity is a sensitive topic that sparks concern, especially in a global business. The risk is high in terms of the potential financial and reputational losses in the event of a cyber attack. Additionally, the legal and compliance landscape is varied and challenging to navigate. Based on this, keep cybersecurity efforts a regular topic on your stakeholder meetings. Share how you're protecting interests and meeting regulatory standards. If you do experience a cyber incident, be transparent with your stakeholders in a timely manner and share what happened and what you're doing in the near term to take corrective action and the long term to prevent further incidents. Regular, pro-active discussion builds trust with your stakeholders.

Informação e dados é a base de tudo com um time bem unificado em trocar informações rápidas e ter autonomia para implementar alterações em estratégia, regras, processos com o time multidisciplinar

Also with stakeholders, especially executives, be up front about the cost of a breach. In med tech, folks have died from ransomware attacks directed against hospitals. With the average ransom being approximately $1.5 million in those cases, you do not want to be the reason why your client paid that kind of money. Further, while I'm not a lawyer, I would imagine their legal department would look to your company to recoup the cost if your device was shown to be the way in or furthered the attack. That's why I recommend spending as much time as we can on software composition analysis, 3rd party penetration testing, and beefed up post market surveilance. That's how you avoid paying bad actors these multi-million dollar ransoms!

Effective and transparent communication with sharing of 100 % info to mitigate the worries / anxiety of the stakeholders , with info on all base being covered as far as risk management & mitigation is concerned

Launching our groundbreaking app was days away, but data privacy regulations felt like a legal maze. As Operations Security lead, I wasn't just about firewalls. "Compliance Assurance" became my mission. Grueling hours deciphering regulations and grilling developers on data security weren't glamorous, but critical. Finally, in the tense conference room, I presented the final compliance report. It wasn't just a document; it was a bridge of trust between our app and future users. In our world, that's a victory worth celebrating.

1. Identify all applicable cybersecurity regulations and industry standards that the product must adhere to. 2. Implement controls and processes to ensure full compliance with these requirements. 3.

Cybersecurity Strategy Compliance • Demonstrating industry-recognized data protection and cybersecurity best practices. • Proactive management of compliance for secure security measures. • Transparent communication about compliance status and regulatory changes. • Integrating compliance into cybersecurity strategy, risk mitigation, and security awareness initiatives.

Cyber risks are no longer the odd event. As yesterday’s Microsoft/CloudStrike event showed, we are all so interconnected/inter dependent through online computing that cyber technology/risks are inherent,” and integral to what we do! Risk is inherent to everything we do and we must learn to embrace it. Figure out what risks we simply cannot live with (breach of client data for example) - and work to prevent those. Figure what we can anticipate and how we can minimize or work around them. - e.g - anticipate and prepare a workaround a system breakdown (like yesterdays meltdown situation) and be prepared. Could airlines have a backup plan to quickly put folks on alternative transport modes for shorter distances? Lots of learning ahead.

Continuous monitoring is a key element to ensure any concerns arising after launch is mitigated swiftly. Keep your teams ready, set up contingencies and work-arounds, maintain clear lines of communication, and above all else, ensure stakeholders are updated frequently on changes and issues - this does not mean sharing minutes of a meeting, but in fact informing every individual stakeholder, and ensuring their worries are validated and ratified.
