Abstract : In this paper several key elements will be addressed to enhance the organizations cybersecurity posture and align it with its business objectives, the introductory letter outlined the organizations recent assessment of cybersecurity policies and vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for a proactive cybersecurity approach to protect critical information assets. The significance of strong cybersecurity measures in the face of evolving cyber threats was underscored, highlighting the potential catastrophic implications of data breaches. The call to action for all stakeholders to embrace and drive best cybersecurity practices, in line with industry frameworks like the NIST Framework, was also emphasized.

Keywords : Cybersecurity, Phishing, Measures, Incident, Patching, Awareness, Vulnerability.
