Abstract
This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation, which uses IDC's Cybersecurity Capabilities Assessment Framework 1.0 (#US51014923, July 2023) as a reference point, provides templates for a range of security policies across the seven key domains that IDC has identified as critical for enabling a holistic cybersecurity strategy: network security; endpoint security; identity and digital trust; data security; application security; response, recovery, and resilience; and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Enterprises will need to adapt these policy templates to fit their unique needs, and they must accompany them with security procedures that translate the policies into effective practices. However, these templates provide a starting off point for developing a comprehensive and effective state of cybersecurity readiness in the face of modern threats.
Policies serve as the foundation for enabling effective cybersecurity capabilities across the enterprise — which is why defining clear and comprehensive policies is an essential step toward mitigating threats. However, deciding which policies to adopt can be challenging given the broad range of security domains to manage as well as the fact that tolerance for risk may vary widely across different domains and between businesses.
