Security as a Service

Robert Moore -

A Cyber Security Manager is responsible for overseeing an organization's information security policies and procedures, ensuring that they are effective, up-to-date, and compliant with relevant laws and regulations.

When working with a very low budget, it can be challenging to cover all the duties of a Cyber Security Manager. However, some minimum steps that can be taken to ensure basic information security include:

  1. Implementing basic security measures: This includes ensuring that all computers have antivirus software installed, using firewalls to protect networks, and regularly updating software and operating systems to patch known vulnerabilities.
  2. Conducting a risk assessment: A basic risk assessment can be conducted by identifying and prioritizing critical assets and systems, and then implementing controls to protect them.
  3. Developing and enforcing policies: Basic security policies can be developed and enforced, such as password policies and data access policies. These policies should be communicated to all employees and enforced through regular monitoring.
  4. Conducting security awareness training: Regular security awareness training can be provided to employees to educate them on basic security best practices, such as identifying phishing emails and using secure passwords.
  5. Regularly reviewing and monitoring security: Regular reviews and monitoring of security measures should be conducted to ensure that they are effective and any issues are addressed promptly.

While these measures may not cover all the duties of a Cyber Security Manager, they can provide a basic level of protection for an organization with a very low budget. It is important to note, however, that as an organization grows and becomes more complex, investing in a dedicated Cyber Security Manager or outsourcing to a third-party provider may be necessary to provide more comprehensive protection.
