    Managing cyber risks today is more difficult than it has ever been. More companies are using online services and also working with other businesses to handle data, making it harder to keep sensitive information safe. 

    Cybersecurity expert Dave Hatter says that the risks of protecting personal and business data are getting more serious as our world becomes more connected. Companies must not only keep their systems secure but also ensure that the other companies they work with follow security rules.

    Also, they have to follow more laws about data protection. This is why managing cyber risks has become one of businesses’ most essential and complex problems. So, how can you start a career in this important field and help companies manage these risks? To answer that, we need to understand what cyber risk management is.

    What Is Cyber Risk Management?

    Cybersecurity risk management is a continuous process of finding, understanding, and fixing the things that could put a company’s digital information at risk. It involves figuring out what could go wrong, how serious the problem could be, and what to do about it.

    Who is responsible for managing these risks? The simple answer is everyone. However, things can get tricky when different departments all have a role to play.

    Managing cyber security risks well means that everyone in the company needs to have clear jobs. Employees should know exactly what their role is and what they are responsible for. Gone are the days when different departments worked separately and didn’t communicate properly. 

    Today, businesses must work together in a coordinated and organized way to handle risks. The following are some crucial actions that organizations should focus on:

    • Creating strong rules and providing tools to check if the other companies they work with are secure.
    • Identifying new risks, like new laws that could affect their business.
    • Finding weaknesses within their systems, like not using two-factor authentication or other extra layers of security.
    • Reducing IT risks using training programs, new rules, or better internal controls.
    • Regularly testing their overall security to make sure it works well.
    • Keeping records of how they manage vendors (other companies), risks, and security, which can be used for inspections. It can also be used to be with new customers.

    Cybersecurity risk management is not just the job of one team; it is everyone’s responsibility. Every part of the company needs to work together to protect the organization from cyber risks.

    How to Get Into Cyber Risk Management Without Experience

    Getting into cyber risk management with no experience might seem difficult. However, it is possible if you follow the proper steps. Here is how you can get into cybersecurity risk management without a degree:

    Learn the Basics of Cybersecurity

    The first thing you need to do is to understand the basics of cybersecurity. This means you must learn to keep computers and data safe from hackers. You can find free or cheap online classes on Coursera, Udemy, or YouTube. You can learn the basics of cybersecurity and how to deal with risks.

    Get Certifications

    Even if you do not have experience, you will need certifications. Earning certifications can show companies that you are serious about this field. Certifications are like special tests that prove you know what you are doing. Some popular ones are CompTIA Security+, CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), and CRISC (Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control). These can make you stand out when looking for cybersecurity jobs.

    Learn About Risk Management

    Cyber risk management is about identifying and dealing with risks in technology systems. You can learn about common risk management frameworks, like NIST or ISO 27001. These systems help organisations determine how to find and reduce risks. They are very important in this field.

    Get Some Practice

    Even without a cybersecurity job, you can still practice on your own. You can try to get an entry-level IT job or internship to work with computer systems and learn how to keep them secure. You can also join free online platforms, like “Hack The Box”, to test your cyber security skills. You can also compete in cyber security contests to improve your knowledge.

    Build a Network

    Networking is important. You can meet analysts, join online forums, attend virtual events, or find webinars where cybersecurity professionals hang out. You can learn from them and maybe even get job leads or advice. Meeting people in the cybersecurity field will help you better understand what it takes to succeed.

    Write a Good Resume

    Even if you do not have direct experience in cyber risk management, you can still have a resume. List the skills you have gained from school or other useful jobs, like problem-solving or paying attention to details. Employers like to see that you have skills that can be applied to keep systems safe.

    When you follow these steps, you can work your way into a career in cyber risk management, even if you do not have a degree or experience. With hard work and learning, you can build a successful career in this growing field.
