| Titre | Cybersécurité dans un cycle: équilibrer la réparation et le remplacement pour une sécurité optimale Cybersecurity in a Cycle: Balancing Repair and Replacement for Optimal Security |

Regularly updating your policies, software, and systems is crucial to your long-term cybersecurity efforts. However, failing to properly plan these updates can undermine your continuity plans and impede your business\'s productivity and profitability. As a cybersecurity specialist, you can balance repairs and replacements by creating a dynamic, adaptive strategy that accounts for industry trends and responds to emerging threats without causing unnecessary expenses to the company. This approach will help your firm save on replacement costs when repairs are more cost-effective. This is key, as regularly updating aging devices can extend the hardware and software lifecycle without putting your firm at any undue risk. Replacing vs. Repair If you work in a firm that utilizes a large network of digital assets, you’ll need to regularly reassess whether the tech you use is still up to standard. Regular replacements and repairs are essential to keeping the IT network working, making proper cost analysis worthwhile. When making asset management decisions, consider: Regulation: You must be current with legal changes in your industry or risk significant fines and legal action. Asset Performance: Unnecessarily slow, old devices aren’t just bad for business — they put your firm at risk as outdated hardware is more vulnerable to attacks. Operational Continuity: Taking a key asset offline may help you make repairs, but how will it impact the total productivity of the business? If repair costs are too high, you’ll likely want to explore replacements. Generally, it’s best to repair new assets that are still well within their lifespan and warranty. If labor costs are low and parts are readily available, deciding to fix a broken screen or a burnt-out processor can save you plenty of time and money. However, if repairs are costly and time-consuming, you’ll almost certainly want to replace them. There’s no point continuing with a device approaching the end of its lifecycle and at risk of becoming obsolete. Continuing to use devices unsupported by the manufacturer presents a security risk, too, as they won’t receive the necessary updates that more recent releases will get. This same approach applies to digital assets like documents. Digital files have lifecycles, just like hardware. You must have a clear plan in place for old documents that you plan to delete. Rather than seeing the “delete” button as a permanent solution, increase your security by erasing FAT, NFTS, Ext, and HFS+ documents. Iterative Planning Repairing and replacing devices requires a team-wide effort to track, manage, and maintain the company’s many assets. Doing so requires a collaborative effort over the course of weeks, months, and years. As such, you’ll want to adopt an iterative approach to planning repairs and replacements. Iterative planning models for project teams include: Treat projects as “chapters” in a broader business “story”l (i.e., pushing a password update is part of a more comprehensive security story).
