Cybersecurity has long since ceased to be merely a technical issue. Organizations are facing stricter regulations, increasing cyber threats, and a growing reliance on digital systems. As a cybersecurity product manager, I help organizations strengthen their digital resilience. In doing so, we look not only at technology, but also at processes and the people behind the systems. My mission: to help organizations manage cyber risks and protect their business continuity.
NIS2 is a European regulation that requires organizations to improve their digital resilience. The directive sets stricter requirements for information security, risk management, incident reporting, and the accountability of executives. For many organizations, this means that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, but a strategic business risk.
MDR stands for managed detection & response. It is a service in which security specialists continuously monitor your IT environment for suspicious activity, threats, and attacks. When an incident is detected, immediate action is taken to limit its impact and prevent further damage.
The frequency of penetration tests depends on the risks, changes in the IT environment, and any compliance requirements. In practice, many organizations choose to conduct penetration tests periodically and to have additional tests performed following major changes to their infrastructure or applications. The most important thing is to regularly monitor the technical security of your environment.
Effective security training combines awareness, education, and repetition. By regularly training employees on topics such as phishing, password use, privacy, and secure digital work practices, you reduce the risk of human error. Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology. Employees are a key line of defense against cyber threats.
IAM stands for identity and access management. It allows you to manage who has access to which systems, applications, and data within an organization. By centrally managing and controlling user permissions, you reduce the risk of unauthorized access and better meet security and compliance requirements.
