Data-breach security group 

There are a lot of issues that modern businesses are facing right now. Problems like ransomware, Cloud computing issues, Distributed denial-of-service, Crypto and blockchain attacks, Third-party software, Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), etc., can not ve solved by themselves. That is where a group of people with specific skills in programming and cybersecurity would play a crucial role in an organization’s well-being and safety. 

(Problem)

Cybersecurity is a significant concern for today’s business owners and technology leaders for a good reason. According to a survey published by RiskBased Security, data breaches exposed 36 billion records in the first half of 2020 alone. Hackers are well-versed in the fundamental flaws that affect businesses and organizations, keeping cybersecurity experts on their toes. As the ability to access cyberspace rises as a result of technological advancements, so does the number of cybersecurity challenges that businesses may confront. Cybersecurity breaches can strike any company at any time. In 2020, well-known companies like Marriott, MGM Resorts, Twitter, and Magellan Health all suffered cyber attacks. However, hackers do not only target heavyweights. According to Verizon Business’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report, small businesses were engaged in more than one out of every four data breaches. These attacks can be pricey. According to a Hiscox analysis from 2019, the average cost of a cyber attack is roughly $200,000. This economic impact has alarmed many people, including tiny business owners. According to a survey performed by the US Small Business Association, 88 percent of small firms believe they are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Preventing these attacks is crucial financially. In today’s company landscape, there are various different cybersecurity risks to be aware of – issues that only a seasoned cybersecurity specialist may be able to assist.

(Context)

You have to leave under the rock not to notice that our daily routine becomes more and more artificial intelligence-related. We heavily relate to smart cars, phones, houses, autonomous gadgets, etc. Imagine what a big inconvenience it is for you to have your bank account information leaked. It is a highly stressful situation that costs you a lot of money. Now imagine what it would be like for a big or small business. Obviously, information confidentiality is a primary concern, and its protection can not be overestimated. In the modern age of cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities abound for both large and small businesses. Understanding how hackers operate can help to reduce the risk of data loss. Cybersecurity professionals can avoid the potentially disastrous consequences of a large-scale data leak by keeping an eye on trends and emerging technology.

(Solution)

One of the solutions that already exist is a cybersecurity framework. A cybersecurity framework is a set of norms, principles, and best practices for dealing with risks in the digital environment. They usually pair security goals, such as preventing unauthorized system access, with controls requiring a username and password. This step has to be taken by every business/organization, yet it does not deal with the compromisation that has already occurred. A group of professionals gathered in one place can give the company an adequate assessment of the incident and provide them with a solution and instruction on prevention for the future. (The roles in cybersecurity are countless, but in the begging, I would try to gather people who possess further mentioned abilities)

1. Information security specialists.

Information security analysts defend a company’s digital assets from hackers. This usually entails scanning networks for security breaches and investigating them, as well as adopting security software, conducting penetration testing, and developing company-wide security policies. 

2. Penetration tester

Playing the villain and attempting to get into a security system is sometimes the greatest way to improve it. Penetration testers try to get into existing security systems in order to help an organization discover and fix weaknesses. Ethical hackers and assurance validators are two terms used to describe these experts. As you might expect, being a competent penetration tester necessitates a high level of ability and knowledge. Candidates with a formal cybersecurity or information technology degree and considerable experience in related areas are likely to be preferred by employers.

3. Security awareness trainer

Even the most well-designed security measures can fail if an intruder gains access through the front door. Cybersecurity experts understand that the human factor is the weakest link in any digital security scheme. Security awareness officers, or security awareness training professionals, are in charge of a company’s security awareness education. Employees are taught to recognize security threats and follow security policy, which reduces risk. These specialists must know everything there is to know about cybersecurity, as well as people. They’ll create security awareness programs, teach individuals, identify threats, and work with people to encourage the safest behaviors possible.

4. Data recovery specialists 

Even the best-laid plans can go wrong, as the specialists in this field are well aware. To save data from damaged hard drives or other media, you’ll want to contact data recovery experts (DRPs). They also look after computer gear, troubleshoot mechanical difficulties, undertake forensics, and devise disaster data recovery strategies. These specialists work on large-scale enterprise data recovery and damage mitigation activities in the context of cybersecurity. A vast organization generates a lot of data in a short time. Backups are produced regularly to prevent catastrophic data loss.

It is not the whole list by far, but those are the most important. 

(Barriers)

• Lack of professionals. 
• Finding financials for the trips since this service would require a lot of transportation for the working team. 

(Assessment)

I would consider the result successful if my employees are happy with the job that they do and clients are happy with the service that they pay for. A team that can handle any cyber-attack constantly develops its skills and has a high quality of life is a thriving organization that cares not only for its clients but also for the people who work in it.
