As a CISO for a publicly traded company, I would go to many lengths to implement
protections to ensure the availability of my systems. The availability helps to ensure the
company’s system and services are accessible to the customers when needed. To ensure the
protection of my systems, I would implement DDOS protection solutions to mitigate the risk of
DDOS attacks, a business disaster recovery plan to minimize wasted time in the event an
incident occurs, schedule regular backups to ensure systems are up to date and educate
employees on how to properly use the equipment as well as host training regularly. All these
protections can be used as just a start to help ensure the availability of my systems. The more
the company grows, the more I will search for the best outcomes to ensure not only the safety
of my company but also the people who choose to invest in it. Companies have access to other
people’s information, so when the company is exposed so are your investors. Therefore, the company would go down in profits and investments and there would not be a company to
protect. This is why it is so important to protect your assets.
