Security posture is a measure of the cybersecurity strength of an organisation’s network, information, and systems. This includes an enterprise’s threat management and response capabilities in the event of an attack. As an organisation’s cybersecurity posture isn’t static, having a solid security posture indicates that an organisation has taken the necessary precautionary measures to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks in the current threat landscape.
How to Determine Your Security Posture
Part of strengthening an organisation’s security posture is knowing which problems to address. Security Posture Assessments (SPA) are specially created to take stock of an organisation’s cybersecurity efforts. The assessment results should inform organisations of the following steps they must take to strengthen their security posture. These assessments give enterprises a better overview to create a comprehensive cybersecurity roadmap that integrates their future business plans.

Along with knowing the state of organisational security, there are other ways to strengthen your security posture. Things like prioritising risk, educating workers, and having an incident management plan can go far to reinforce your cybersecurity posture. In terms of technology, automation of threat detection and remediation can assist you in the long haul.
