A security calendar is a schedule of planned security activities that an organisation uses to manage and prioritize its cyber security efforts. Some key items that may be included in a security calendar are:
Vulnerability scans: Scheduled scans of the organization's systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
Patch management: Regularly scheduled updates and patches to address known vulnerabilities and to keep the organization's systems up to date.
Security training: Scheduled training sessions for employees to educate them on best practices for cyber security, such as how to identify and report suspicious activity.
Incident response exercises: Regularly scheduled exercises to test and validate the organization's incident response plan.
Risk assessments: Regularly scheduled risk assessments to identify and prioritize potential cyber security threats to the organization.
Compliance audits: Scheduled audits to ensure that the organization's cyber security efforts are in compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
Security awareness campaign: regularly scheduled security awareness campaigns to inform and remind employees of the organization's cyber security policies, procedures and to aware them on the latest threats
Review of security metrics: Regularly scheduled review of key security metrics to assess the effectiveness of the organization's cyber security program.
Having a detailed security calendar can help organisations stay organized and focused on their cyber security efforts, and ensure that key activities are not overlooked.
