This white paper from the Data Security Alliance outlines best practices in cybersecurity and cyber resilience aimed at helping organizations enhance their defenses against cyber threats. It emphasizes the importance of integrating data security and management with cybersecurity to improve overall resilience. The paper discusses various challenges organizations face, including people, organizational, and technology-related issues that hinder effective cybersecurity measures. It presents six key best practices: continuous monitoring of security posture, implementing Zero Trust principles, deepening data intelligence, fostering collaboration, leveraging modern data security platforms, and integrating backup infrastructure with security operations. Additionally, the document highlights the significance of a proactive approach to cyber resilience, which goes beyond traditional disaster recovery to ensure operational continuity in the face of escalating cyber threats. The paper aligns its recommendations with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, focusing on the essential elements of identifying, protecting, detecting, responding, and recovering from cyber incidents.
