Question 1
With the increasing rate of growth of cyber security issues, each and every organization stands a
chance of losing its data and important information to dangerous individuals who use the
information to their own advantage. Such issues can only be prevented by the application of
policies and measures that prevent unauthorized access of the organization data. Some of the
important counter measures that enhance the information security measures of an enterprise
include:
i.

Involving executives in cybersecurity – This is a step that ensures there is a person or a
group of individuals responsible for handling the issues related to cybersecurity of an
organization other than the departmental managers and regular employees. With this
measure in place, all the issues involving cyber security threats are adequately addressed
and communicated in a timely manner to the organization as well as external stakeholders
such as partners, investors and the customers ("Cybersecurity Governance and Security
Measures," 2013).

ii.

The implementation of an employee cyber security training program – Cyber security for
critical infrastructure and those that are responsible for operating industrial control systems
are very important given the fact that they are the mostly targeted by cyber criminals. These
critical areas contain important topics that calls for an emphasis for general awareness.

iii.

Maintaining awareness for vulnerability and coming up with necessary patches and
updates ("Cybersecurity Governance and Security Measures," 2013). Implementing a
system for monitoring and applying patches protects enterprises from opportunistic attacks.

The development of strategic governance process enables an enterprise to prevent cyber-attacks
before they happen, recover as fast as possible from an attack so as to prevent further losses and
