āCISOs 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,ā Simpson said.
āThis will not only enable continuous compliance with DORAās forward-looking directives, but it will also strategically empower security teams to protect the entire attack surface and manage their organizationās cyber risk exposure in real-time to strengthen cybersecurity overall against existing and emerging threats.ā
Compliance does not equate to security, according to the old adage, but compliance with DORA and GDPR will, as Simpson points out, āstrategically empower security teams,ā and isnāt that is a desired outcome for every CISO?
