Foundational Standards for Cybersecure Operations

Cybersecurity Baseline

Cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing, network intrusions, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and data breaches, continue to increase in both frequency and impact. These incidents have shown that no organization is immune, and that cyber resilience has become a critical pillar of business continuity and operational stability.

To help companies strengthen their ability ot prevent, withstand and recover from cyberattacks, Howden and Truesec have developed joint guidelines to help organizations establish a robust cybersecurity foundation.

These guidelines define a baseline level of protection, enabling each organization to evaluate its posture and plan next steps based on its unique needs and goals.

"Our recommendations are based on our own experience from the countless incidents we have handled over the years. They outline the essential protections every organization should have in place to prevent, or at least minimize, the impact of intrusions. It is important to understand that we are not talking about advanced protection here, but rather what is to be regarded as security hygiene"
