Investing means owning an asset or an item with the goal of generating income from the investment or from the appreciation of your investment which is an increase in the value of the asset over a period of time.
In cybersecurity the same concept applies, i.e. investing in cybersecurity means providing security and stability to your business so you can grow safely, achieving significant results in the future.
Prevention is the key!
In general terms, being proactive in knowing, monitoring and mitigating cyber risks means acting before, being preventive and not reactive, waiting for a cyber attack to hit the company unprepared.
There are several studies that point to the effectiveness of maintaining a preventive posture, being 100 times more profitable for the company the adoption of preventive measures, such as vulnerability management and risk mitigation, instead of remaining reactive, acting to mitigate risks after the occurrence of a cyber attack. A cyber attack often affects not only the company's data, but can also harm the company's corporate image.
Conclusion
As the old popular saying goes, " better safe than sorry." The company needs to maintain an active posture towards its cyber risks, pursuing knowledge of its vulnerabilities and maintaining an active remediation program, by using discovery tools and scanning for vulnerabilities pediodically.
