Risk posture
Risk posture is the overall strength of the organization’s cybercrime plan to mitigate risk occurrence. It ensures that the IT assets in the company are secured and free from vulnerabilities and threats that may attack through the website. The risk posture gives procedures and commands to the individuals handling both the software and hardware assets to reduce the chances of exposing them to attacks. Cybercrime rules establish a more comprehensive approach that controls the possibilities of information breach to unauthorized individuals who may alter with the original data stored. This reduces hacker’s visibility to the organization systems through the internet. The risk plan enables the organization’s machine and the IT team to sense any risk occurring and faster to respond to cut off its spread to the entire operating systems. (Menkveld, 2017).
According to Bernstein, et al. (2017), the posture assessment establishes gaps that may give a throughway for threats to attack the machines and come up with solutions to block them to reduce the possible spread of the risks. The IT infrastructure that is commonly used and increases the chances of vulnerability growth in the systems include OS that is expired. Unworthy OS weakens the system capability of mitigating the risk available in the order hence giving it room to the widespread into the machines. Cybersecurity strategy ensures that OS that has reached maximum usage is replaced to reduce increased chances of risk accessibility into the applications. Networking devices should be entrusted with passwords that limit their usage, restricting unrecognized people from using them. By doing this, the possible threats from intruders are mitigated hence keeping the networks secure from viruses that may cause damage to the devices.
The risk posture plan ensures that the web servers are entrusted with security codes to limit their usage by unrecognized personnel to reduce the chances of exposing them to threats of being hacked. The cybersecurity plan ensures that before sending any attachment through the email, the sender should have enough understanding of the receiver to avoid exposing the organization’s private information to enemies. The organization puts track to all IT systems across the company’s department to keep high supervision on what the users transmit through them. By doing this, there are reduced chances of an information breach. The responsible individuals can only alter the private and confidential information of the firm. (Carter, 2018).
According to Vellani (2019), any possible risk in the company affects its cybercrime security at a given period. Close monitoring through collaboration and arrangements must be established in the organization to reduce the invasion of threats in the IT systems. There is a need to develop global risk posture to minimize risks that invade the systems globally since outsourcing is occurring in regions that are far from the enterprise and may result in a mild attack of the arrangements. Some firms run product vibrant that can not be easily secured through a program that enhances security hence affecting the ability of new structures that are resistant to threats. The organization is expected to analyze the effects of the level of new occurring risks to improve the security structures of the systems. Possible adjustments of the cybercrime plan are needed to enhance the level of threat invasion in the IT systems.
