Cyber Defense eMagazine July Edition for 2022

egulations use the best industry practices, you are extremely unlikely to encounter an error within the
system if you follow the rules. These guidelines help organizations with risk assessment, pointing out
their weak spots, and providing guidance on fixing the issue within the cybersecurity framework.
Another point in favor of compliance is that data breaches are rarely isolated incidents. Usually, you will
find a snowfall effect on cyberattacks. One data breach that may seem harmless at the beginning can
easily turn into an all-out attack on a business that can completely change the trajectory of the mentioned
business.
Another perk of following the regulatory requirements is avoiding penalties that come with data breaches.
When it is clear that the lack of security measures from the organization is the reason for the breach, the
organization will usually get fined. Organizations get fined regularly because their client information gets
exposed through an internal or external breach. While these penalties serve as a costly lesson in
cybersecurity, they also send the message to other organizations that compliance is essential for
cybersecurity and that following the guidelines will benefit the organization in the long run.
