The Pitfalls of a Reactive Cyber Strategy
Many organizations only make changes after something goes wrong. This approach can lead to:
- Exposure of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Delays or disqualification from contract awards
- Expensive remediation projects that disrupt operations
- Reputational damage with federal partners
In a sector where security is part of your contract performance, prevention is the true metric of success.
Proactive Security Starts with Architecture
Being proactive isn’t just about tools—it’s about how your environment is designed. That includes:
- Role-based access controls with least privilege enforcement
- Always-on threat detection and response
- Clear segmentation of environments to protect CUI
- Security automation and governance policies baked in from the start
This level of readiness requires intention, leadership, and the right platform.
