Deloitte's Secure.Vigilant.Resilient. approach acknowledges that with perpetual change and increasing complexity, it is economically infeasible for organizations to be 100 percent secure.

The underpinning concepts for the framework are spelled out in a new point of view paper entitled, "Changing the game on cyber risk: the imperative to be secure, vigilant, and resilient." www.deloitte.com/us/cyberrisk
To get started, leaders of the organization need to understand the key threats prevalent in their industry and specific to their organization. By reviewing potential actors and their motives, they can establish program components that better prevent impact by known threats, and also be better equipped to anticipate what might happen in the future, and respond more nimbly when incidents occur.
