and impacts to determine the level of protection that is needed for the business. The next step is implementing preventive measures such as firewalls or antivirus software which will help protect these assets from potential cyber-attacks or other forms of malicious activities. The development of an effective information security program should be led by an experienced leader with expertise in IT security who can make informed decisions on behalf of the organization with regards to implementation and enforcement of policies/procedures related to cyber security. This person should also have experience in creating secure systems so they are aware not only on how best to defend against external threats but also internally such as lack of physical access control or unencrypted sensitive data stored on company laptops. Once developed, it is important that all employees understand their role in adhering to policies outlined within this program and understand their responsibilities for maintaining a safe working environment for everyone within the workplace. There must be clear communication between management and staff about expectations related to cyber-security protocols so that everyone follows them accordingly; this could involve regular emails sent out regarding new policy updates or online training modules where employees can gain further insight into how they can keep themselves safe while using technology at work. Annual reviews should take place where policy documents are reviewed and updated if necessary - this helps ensure compliance with current regulations as well as changing trends in cybercrime techniques used by attackers today. Enforcement mechanisms need to be put in place alongside these communications efforts; consequences ranging from disciplinary action up until termination may need to be included depending on severity/repetitiveness of violations observed by management teams over time. Measures for success included tracking employee compliance rates through surveys or interviews annually; monitoring network usage patterns via log files; measuring attack surface area reduction after introducing various countermeasures like encryption technologies etc.. Ultimately though, it comes down having senior leadership buy-in into this program which will serve as foundation upon which everything else rests upon – without their support no amount technical know-how would help achieve desired results when attempting improve overall state Cyber Security posture within organisation undergoing transition process towards establishing comprehensive Information Security Program capable providing tangible benefits both short long term basis!
