Protecting Availability
As CISO, I would implement redundant systems that can operate at geographically separate locations, as well as strong disaster recovery plans to avoid single points of failure. I would also implement DDoS protection, provide continuous monitoring to detect potential issues, and develop regular patch management procedures to minimize the impact of cyber-related outages. In addition to these measures, I would use load balancing and test my incident response plans to be sure that I am prepared to respond to an outage quickly and effectively to maintain business continuity, revenue, reputation, and to protect shareholder confidence.
