safeguarding systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks
Preparation = Cybersecurity Simplified
The average cost of a cybersecurity breach in 2023 was $4.45 million, according to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023. This is a 15% increase over the previous three years.
Cybersecurity involves safeguarding systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks that aim to access, alter, or destroy sensitive data, extort money through ransomware, or disrupt normal business operations. At Fidorum, we work with you to implement best practices to minimize the risks and consequences of these attacks.
What is a cybersecurity framework?
A cybersecurity framework provides a common language and set of standards for security leaders across countries and industries to understand their security postures and those of their vendors. This unified structure allows organizations to comprehensively evaluate and strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities. Without a consistent framework, each entity would use disparate terminology and metrics, making it extremely difficult to communicate needs and compare security levels.
A framework enables companies to conduct risk assessments, implement controls, and monitor progress against a defined set of best practices. For example, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides guidelines on identifying assets, detecting threats, responding to incidents, and recovering data. Organizations can use this model to determine vulnerabilities in their systems, where additional safeguards are required, and how their defenses stack up to industry benchmarks. The structured approach gives security teams a prioritized roadmap to systematically enhance protections based on business requirements and risk appetite.
With a framework in place that follows common cybersecurity standards, it becomes much easier to define the processes and procedures that your organization must take to assess, monitor, and mitigate cybersecurity risk. The consistent lexicon allows you to articulate security needs to leadership and vendors, while the established controls provide a measurable pathway to improve your defenses over time. Frameworks enable organizations to speak the same language, evaluate their current security postures, and allocate resources to enhance their cybersecurity hygiene.
Some of the common frameworks and areas that we work . . . CMMC, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, NIST NSF, ISO 27001, MARS-E, SSA and HIPAA. Whether NIST, CIS, or MITRE, we can help.
