CYBERSECURITY & RISK MANAGEMENT

cyber security and risk management

Like real-world everything in the cyberworld is prone to attack and damage.  To deal with these unexpected or deliberately planned attacks on cyber systems and networks, various strategies and preventive measures are devised and used which is called Cybersecurity Risk Management. It involves identification of risks and vulnerabilities of your cyber network or system and then devising plus applying administrative and comprehensive solutions to make sure that your data is safe and protected from attacks and damage.


The very first step in cybersecurity risk management is to set up a cybersecurity risk management system which involves identification of the assets that need to protected and compiling a priority list. Since different organizations and networks/ systems have different structures it is completely up to the administration of the network/system/organization to compile the list of assets and using different strategies for risk management. For example, healthcare and financial organizations have concerns related to regulations as well as business which needs to deal with the cybersecurity risk management system. The advisable process is to follow a layered approach and using more than one strategy for protecting the data. 


Cybersecurity Risk Management system can deal with the following different elements of a system- 


  1. Data Protection

    Every organization right now is working on the data (where the format and structure of data storage might differ from organization to organization). Personnel details, account information, bank account details, and other personal information comes under this field. 


  1. Application Security

    We access our system through applications and right now each and every application is connected to the internet. Enabling the security of the application is a must and it needs to be well protected for better functioning.


  1. Infrastructure Security

    The infrastructure of the system constitutes the core of the system and the risk associated with infrastructure needs to be dealt with to establish a system where any single fault or risk can be calculated beforehand and then dealt with effectively. 



Stealing of data and breach of systems is a common process nowadays but it can be prevented with proper care of the Cybersecurity Risk Management System. Experts advise on layered approach and having knowledge about the risks associated with cybersystems along with how can you protect your system. Also, you can take the help of expert system organizers for more details and a better approach to your system’s cybersecurity.

Cybercrime isn’t a victimless offense and it is taken extremely badly by law enforcement. The minors that become caught up in cybercrime often have a skill set that could be put to a constructive use. Talent in coding, CPU programming, gaming, cyber security or anything IT-related are in high demand and there are many proficient careers and opportunities available to anyone with IT talent and a curiosity in these areas.  Cybercrime is a dare for law firms requiring a wider response than, 'it's a job for the IT department'. Cyber risk, like any other danger to your business, needs to be managed correctly and considered a high priority risk for law firms.

img Source:  www.renewableenergyworld.com When various electricity sources and loads are interconnected within clearly defined electrical boundaries than can act as a single entity that gets electrical supply from a grid and this entity can be connected and disconnected from that single grid, then this entity is called micro-grid.  A micro-grid is a locally controlled system  that provides certain advantages to customers as well as utilities such as improved energy efficiency, reduced environmental impact, reliability of supply, voltage control, security, and more.  Before going into the development and construction phase of micro-grid we must first understand the microgrid lifecycle and ideal design. There are four main areas which are looked for developing a micro-grid – 1 Safety   Micro-grid enables electricity to flow in multiple directions. So you will need to establish safety practices and measures. 2. Control Control and planning for contingencies is the key to successful develo
