In the modern world, data is regarded as the lifeblood of an organisation. Consequently, cyber threats have taught us that a reactive response to a data breach, regardless of the magnitude of the event, is no longer adequate. All data is important, therefore a more modern and innovative approach needs to be adopted to keeping it safe yet available.

Given current threat levels, all organisations should assume that they will experience some sort of cyber security incident sooner or later—probably sooner. Plan for the worst and, most important of all, know what to do when an incident occurs.
