The recent ransomware attacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS are grave reminders that organizations at all levels must constantly be in a high state of cybersecurity readiness and alert. This is no easy task as the points of vulnerabilities are numerous, especially the probability of humans falling prey to innovative hacking maneuvers. The senior leadership has an incredibly important and critical role to play in securing operations, sensitive data, and other digital assets. They must actively engage in the planning and execution of cybersecurity governance activities and spearhead the creation and sustenance of a high-performance information security culture. Such a high-performance information security culture is anchored on three key pillars – commitment, preparedness, and discipline. Dr. Dave Chatterjee’s book on Cybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance Approach speaks to these security culture traits and associated success factors. Probably the most important success factor is a highly committed and engaged top management. In an extensive and insightful discussion with Dr. Chatterjee, Rohit Verma, CEO of Crawford and Company, speaks candidly on topics ranging from top management involvement to the empowerment of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), cyber training and assessment, intelligence monitoring, performance tracking and measurement, security drills, and best practices. The following are some memorable Rohit Verma quotes as he advocates a genuinely committed approach to cybersecurity readiness.
