The key to identifying and fixing gaps in security management is for organizations to have a thorough understanding of their current security posture. This should include conducting regular audits and risk assessments, which can identify weaknesses in processes and systems that could be exploited by cyber attackers (Khalid & Salman, 2018). Once the risks have been identified, organizations should develop appropriate controls based on best practices such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27000 series standards (Chua et al., 2020). These standards provide guidance on how to protect information assets from unauthorized access or misuse through a variety of measures such as data encryption, authentication protocols, user education and awareness training, firewall configurations, patch management programs, monitoring tools and risk mitigation plans. Implementing these controls can help ensure that all aspects of an organization’s security posture are strengthened. Finally, it is essential for organizations to test their defenses regularly with simulated attacks in order to validate that they are properly protected against potential threats (Chua et al., 2020). By taking these steps to identify and fix gaps in security management, organizations can greatly reduce their chances of falling victim to a cyber attack.
