What’s Your Security Maturity Level?

Summary: Krebs on Security's piece examines security maturity models, citing an Enterprise Strategy Group graphic that maps why some organizations fail to manage cyber risk effectively and noting that data breaches often force companies from one maturity column to another. The post also presents consultant Demetrios "Laz" Lazarikos's sliding scale, which scores each business unit separately on preparedness and expectations and marks the weakest areas in dark red.

Bottom line: The article's core observation is that breaches, not planning, are what typically move an organization up the maturity matrix, and that capitalizing on the brief post-breach executive attention requires security staff who already have a plan and the clout to ask for resources.
