1.1 Why you should plan and prepare early and extensively
The time to prepare is now. Reacting when crisis arrives will not be enough. The organisations that respond best to a change in threat are the ones that put steps in place now, because:
risk decisions can be made in advance with cool heads and ample time to find the relevant information.
existing systems can be adapted to make it quicker and easier to make changes, and new systems can be designed with different security postures in mind.
there is plenty of time to identify and solve barriers to making the required changes.
changes to ways of working can be tested, communicated, and practised.
