How can you effectively manage a security budget in a recession? An economic downturn will likely impact your team, so you must prepare to balance your cybersecurity needs with your spending limits. How will a recession impact security teams? Cyber attacks become more common during recessions because potential insider threats and fraud cases increase. On top of the risks, you likely must deal with reduced budgets and staff. Less flexible spending usually means you have to take on larger workloads. In addition, you face increased risk from anyone who was let go due to the economic downturn. They know your organization’s security vulnerabilities and how to exploit them if they want to retaliate. Cybercrime also gives them an opportunity to utilize their skills for financial gain. You must effectively manage your budget to prepare for such effects. Preparing security budgets for a recession Your organization will likely cut or limit your security budget, so you must prepare to handle increased security threats with less flexible spending. The key to an adequate long-term solution is to consider the returns you’ll get for each investment. Consider a loan Getting a loan to boost your security budget may be a good approach if you need more flexibility with your expenses. However, you must be aware of transaction types to navigate the complexities of borrowing adequately. For example, hindering is the practice of keeping assets from creditors, which is fraud. Establish a relationship with a trustworthy lender before committing. In addition, you should ensure you fully understand your contract and repayment responsibilities.

Since it typically covers damages, information restoration and incident response, it can put you in a better place financially. Prioritize spending Prioritizing cybersecurity spending is the first step you should take to prepare your team for an economic downturn. Identify your compliance and essential security needs, and determine how to support them with a smaller budget. You can then take inventory of your technology and labor necessities and decide how to allocate funds properly. Analyze technology needs You can only effectively manage your security budget if you fully understand what you’re working with. Take inventory of the hardware and software you possess, and categorize it. Even if you don’t have to cut your existing equipment, doing so may give you future spending flexibility. Identify what is essential to your team and isn’t, then decide what you can efficiently operate without. In addition to potentially saving you money in the long term, taking note of your equipment can inform your security decisions. For example, your cloud platform may be helpful for storage purposes but can also open you up to unique risks. Since everything is a potential attack surface, you may be better off operating with only the essentials. Assessing your technology may help you optimize spending, as well. You can recognize security gaps more quickly when you have an accurate inventory. It also allows you to patch, update and manage devices, |
