“CISOs should prioritize shifting from a reactive to a proactive cybersecurity stance by gaining a clear grasp on every facet of cyber threat exposure management: asset discovery and management, early warning threat detection, vulnerability discovery, prioritization and remediation,” Simpson said.
“This will not only enable continuous compliance with DORA’s forward-looking directives, but it will also strategically empower security teams to protect the entire attack surface and manage their organization’s cyber risk exposure in real-time to strengthen cybersecurity overall against existing and emerging threats.”
Compliance does not equate to security, according to the old adage, but compliance with DORA and GDPR will, as Simpson points out, “strategically empower security teams,” and isn’t that is a desired outcome for every CISO?
