Preparedness, Resilience and Cyber Security

Preparedness extends far beyond kits, plans and information, the focus of government communications. The remaining 80% of adopting a prepared life is found beyond that spectrum, where strategic thinking aids in understanding the environment in which you operate, the risk and hazard profiles and provides roadmaps to mitigation.
Cyber exposure is no different, with our entire society reliant on connection to the Internet, your ability to acquire any good or service is dependant on a point of sale system, even if you choose to use cash. Cyber protection is often restricted to advice not to open email attachments, visit questionable websites, back up data and change passwords. The strategic elements of cyber security begin when you apply the same strategic thinking to the cyber environment in which you choose to operate and depend upon. Cyber is far more than a simple password protection - it requires an investment of time, effort and at times, money.
