Protecting the Crown Jewels: Securing what matters most

What would happen if your organisation’s most valuable information was compromised? In today’s digital market, valuable, accurate information can be the difference between success and failure. Mission-critical information assets, also known as crown jewels, either hold inherent value or support vital business processes. If compromised, these assets can lead to serious incidents, including extinction level events. Protecting these assets is essential for operational resilience. In many cases, crown jewels underpin the minimum viable company, meaning their protection demands extra investment and a strong culture of security, where everyone understands their responsibilities. In this webinar, Richard Absalom will introduce the newly revised ISF Protection Process, helping the audience to: • Identify mission-critical information assets • Assess and counter the main threats • Protect the information lifecycle. Join us to explore how your organisation can better safeguard its most valuable information and build a resilient future. Speaker bio: Richard Absalom is a Principal Analyst with the Research team.
