Answer to Question 1
With the increasing use of Internet comes cybersecurity that refers to the protection of
internet connected system that include hardware, software as well as data. The cybersecurity
expert has a major role to play in bridging the communication gap. The expert can bridge the
gap by establishing a shared understanding that is properly defining the goals to each and
every stakeholder, making them aware of the success criteria and the importance of
cybersecurity. The less knowledgeable and the more knowledgeable stakeholders can be
brainstormed together so that they get to know each others’ idea about the topic and get to
share their views (Syed et al., 2016). In this way they will understand cybersecurity in a
better way. Cybersecurity expert can conducts sessions that specifically addresses the doubts
related to security frameworks of the issue.
Answer to Question 2
ISO 27001: This is the international standard related to information security
management and this standard laids down 114 best security control practices that
cybersecurity experts can apply depending on the risks they deal with. This standard will help
the cybersecurity expert to protect as well as preserve the confidentiality, integrity as well as
availability of the information assets of an organization.
ISO 27031: This is the international standard related to ICT readiness for the purpose
of business continuity. It helps the cybersecurity experts to keep the organizations prepared
for such incidents that have a drastic effect on its ICT services as well as assets (Kalaiprasath,
Elankavi & Udayakumar, 2017). By adhering to this standard a cybersecurity expert can
ensure that business continuity is maintained. This standard forms primary link in case of
cyber resilience.
