Transcript

Cybersecurity is really around how do you protect your systems and your information for any organization whether it's big or small public or private
sector so cybersecurity is much more important and is continuing to grow in importance as we get more and more connected digitally.

These days it's all there at your fingertips which is great but also means that the ways that it can be exploited and compromised are also there as well it's incumbent on all of us to actually be a little bit cyber savvy

one of the things I like about cybersecurity is that it changes all the time it's dynamic so I think to keep up to date with cybersecurity and particularly the threat landscape. I think the first thing is is to look at an industry methodology to pick up a framework such as NIST or the cloud security lines and look at their best practices and understand how they're managing their cybersecurity recommendations and the domains and the controls and so on. Just keep on learning and keep on understanding what are the threats the challenges what's impacting other businesses
