Is Your Organization A Diamond Mine?
Protecting Your Diamond Mine
Say you owned a diamond mine, with the rarest diamonds the world has ever seen. You would do everything in your power to protect your mine and your diamonds from thieves, criminals, and those with ill intentions. You would probably hire security guards to guard the perimeter 24/7. Install cameras to keep a watchful eye both inside and outside of the mine. All employees would have access cards into the mine to control who goes in and out and at what time. You would probably limit employees access based on roles, job descriptions, and responsibilities — privileged access if you will. In short, no amount of risk is worth it when it comes to protecting your diamonds.
This is a great example of protecting your assets, and to most, this makes complete sense. However, when we shift the concept to cybersecurity, all of a sudden it's not as black and white. While physical assets are easy to picture, digital assets like your organization's infrastructure and data are just as precious—yet often overlooked when it comes to protection.
Your Organizational Diamond Mine
We need to shift how we view organizations, their infrastructure, and data. Consider, the organization's infrastructure the diamond mine, and the organization's data the diamonds. Your organization's data, is rare and needs to be protected from thieves, bad actors, and those with ill intentions.
Just as you wouldn’t leave your diamond mine unguarded, you can’t afford to leave your organization’s infrastructure and data vulnerable to attack. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and bad actors are always looking for a way in—whether through unprotected systems, weak access controls, or overlooked vulnerabilities.
So, how do you secure your “diamonds”?
How To Secure Your Organizational 'Diamonds'
Monitor the Perimeter: Use tools like real-time threat detection and continuous monitoring to identify suspicious activity before it escalates.
Control Access: Implement Privileged Access Management (PAM) to ensure only the right people, with the right permissions, have access to critical systems and data - minimizing the risk of insider threats.
Stay Resilient: Build a strong defense through comprehensive assessments, proactive strategies, and business continuity planning in order to ensure fast recovery in the event of disruptions.
