Only 1/3 of UK businesses have ever conducted a cyber risk assessment 😮
Plus we often hear from IT and Security Teams that struggle to know what makes a *good* risk assessment?
This is despite risk being widely regarded as the foundation for any cyber security programme. It features in government guidance, international standards, and wider good practice.
So we're starting a new series on the Cydea blog looking into just that. Plus tips and tricks on how you can up your #cyber #risk game (and maybe sneak in a bit of #CRQ too 🤑)
Check out the link below to the first part where we touch on preparation and (briefly) identifying risk - then make sure you're following Cydea for future updates!

"Security teams are struggling to conduct accurate risk assessments and communicate the results with business and technology colleagues. They find simple questions like 'what is our risk?' difficult to answer meaningfully."
Check out this interview with Cydea founder Robin Oldham about why we need to change how we understand #cyber #risk

What is "likely?" 🤔
This is what #BSides Exeter thought... ignoring the 0% trolls, "likely" means anywhere between ~30% and ~90% to the 50+ people that voted in our poll.
If you're struggling to communicate your #CyberRisk or don't feel like you're being heard, Cydea can help. Turn ambiguous statements into meaningful numbers that can underpin security programmes, investment cases, or show the benefit you're bringing to the business.
Suffering from blank page syndrome with your cyber risk assessments?
Getting started with mapping your risk can be challenging. Whether that’s understanding what matters, calculating the probabilities of certain risks occurring or getting the right stakeholders involved to get their input.
We’ve taken our collective years of experience to create a simple to use library of common risk scenarios, complete with guidance on where to ask for the information you need to make a decision. Nice and easy!
Get started today! https://cydea.com/platform/
