Today’s release of the White House’s National Cybersecurity Strategy is the result of more than a year of government and industry collaboration that sets new boundaries for the government approach needed to improve global cyber defenses. The strategy clearly represents a shift away from decades-old voluntary compliance regimes to a more aggressive regulatory construct that seeks to shift cyber burdens onto providers/developers and owners and operators of critical infrastructure.
On average, 55 new cybersecurity vulnerabilities were published every day in 2021. This goes on to show that preparing for every single vulnerability and running a hundred percent risk-free business is an extremely difficult task, but not entirely impossible.
Some of the biggest prevailing challenges in the cybersecurity world over the last year have been those revolving around securing the software supply chain across the enterprise. The software that enterprises build for internal use and external consumption by their customers is increasingly made up of third-party components and code that can put applications at risk if they aren't properly secured.
In today's digital age, cybersecurity risks are a major concern for businesses of all sizes. With cyber attacks becoming more sophisticated and frequent, it is important for businesses to assess their cybersecurity risk, prioritize them, and take measures to mitigate them.
