CIR PgM Overview of Program Management

CIR Program Management

Overview

This blog discusses the various processes of the Program Management phase that organisations can utilise to ensure that the contents of the CIR Plan are relevant to tackle the evolving cyber security threats so that the CBF of an affected organisation can continue operations smoothly during a cyber security attack.

The figure on the right is an example of these key Program Management processes.  There are the typical Processes within Program Management of CIR Plans with BCM Practices.

The Project Management Institute defined a program as a group of related projects that bring benefits and control to an organisation only when the projects are managed and coordinated efficiently.

In this case, the benefit the organisation can reap is the continuous improvement in its ability to effectively manage cyber security incidents.

Maintaining the relevance (Olsen, 2014) of the CIR plan is an ongoing process; by utilising program management practices, organisations can handle evolving cybersecurity threats with better preparedness.
