Resilient in the digital world: getting started with cybersecurity
In the week of January 5, collection managers and owners received a letter from the Ministry of OCW to emphasize the urgency of cybersecurity.
Cybercrime increasingly affects cultural organizations. Your digital collection, audience data, and business processes are valuable and therefore interesting to malicious actors. That is why it is important to take the first steps in cyber safety now.
Start with the checklist 'Digital safety for cultural organizations'. This is a practical basic list to immediately check if the foundations of your digital safety are in order.
Next, you can take the CyberSafe Check. This provides insight into your current cyber resilience and delivers a concrete action list with improvement points.
Once you have laid this foundation, proceed with the step-by-step plan: cybersecurity for cultural organizations. This helps you work systematically on implementing measures, mapping processes and risks, and strengthening the digital resilience of your entire organization and chain.
In this way, you build step by step a resilient, adaptable, and future-proof digital organization.
To make your organization digitally resilient, it is important to focus on both prevention and recovery. It is not a matter of 'doing it once and then being done,' but cybersecurity is constantly evolving.
