    Know what yoour enterprise’s exposures are

    IT Outage Shuts down Alaska Airlines - Alaska Airlines is working to restore operations after a significant IT outage led to a ground stop for all of its flights and the cancellation of more than 360 flights. At least a half-dozen flights to or from Las Vegas are showing as canceled at Harry Reid International Airport. The flights mostly connect Las Vegas with West Coast cities, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.

    As the ongoing changes in the business environment continue, CIOs and CSOs are driving the Security Management processes to address both cyberattacks and compliance with mandates.

    Once an enterprise knows what its risk vulnerabilities are, it can then take actions to mitigate the risk posed by the most significant vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors before moving on to lower-priority tasks. Bringing assets offline where possible and strengthening internal and outward-facing networks are two key areas to focus on.

    Incident Communition Policy RELEASED

    Incident Communication Plan Policy Updated

    Incident Communition PolicyTo survive an incident such as a business interruption, security breach, or a product recall, organizations need more than a successful communication strategy - they need an incident communication plan.

    The overall objectives of an incident communications plan should be established at the outset. The objectives should be agreed upon, well understood, and publicized. For example, will the primary objective of the communications plan be for communications only to employees, and only during a disaster? Or is the intent to advise customers of interruptions to service? Or is it for investors and stockholders? Or regulatory agencies? Or is it some combination of these?
