Introduction
With the advancement of technology in the world, our organization has facing devastative attacks that affect the performance and productivity of the organization. In order to beef up the security system within an organization, cybersecurity measures must be employed within the organization in order to safeguard the customers’ information and safeguard from any internal or external attacks. This entailed creating of password policy for the organization, controlling the accessibility within the organization, putting up a firewall, installing intrusion detectors for monitoring network systems, and any unusual activity and installing and updating the company software and programs (Coburn, 2018).
One of the challenges that I experienced when implementing the IT project on employing cybersecurity measures was a lack of trained personnel. Even though my team has implemented the required security measures, the organization lacked skilled staff for maintaining the applications and monitoring the security condition as well as finding or discovering any loopholes or ongoing attacks. This was a significant drawback to the implementation of cybersecurity measures. Secondly was the compliance of the employees or any member within the organization. This was one of the toughest challenges in implementing cybersecurity in creating awareness for all the employees to comply with the established security policies (“Challenges In Implementing Cyber Security”, 2019).
The solution to the above challenges firstly was recruiting a well-trained staff for maintaining the security protocols and coordination of the implemented security measures. Secondly is training the employee on the importance of observing the employed security measures. Issues such as clicking a spam email or transferring files from organization devices to personal computer risks following the password policy should be addressed (Coburn, 2018).
