Start by conducting a thorough risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize areas for improvement. Implement robust password policies, regular software updates, and employee training on phishing awareness to mitigate common threats. Additionally, establish clear incident response protocols to swiftly address any breaches or security incidents.
How quickly can you restore systems if a disaster occurs?
