The primary goal of all cybersecurity programs is minimizing or eliminating the threats posed by hackers and cybercriminals. Since no system can eliminate the risks associated with a data breach or adverse cybersecurity event, effective threat detection and response solutions should focus instead on accounting for and addressing these assaults when they happen. Nowadays, threat response solutions come in many different shapes and sizes, from basic infrastructure to niche services.
Hackers, bad actors, and national entities are always looking for new ways to exploit network connectivity, and the Cloud is now falling prey. Cloud services are taking businesses by storm, with ease of use and convenience; it’s no wonder many organizations are jumping on the bandwagon. The unfortunate reality is that companies are seldom prepared when a cloud-based attack occurs, potentially leaving them with irreparable damages done to the business.
Cybercrime saw an uptick in 2020, as individuals and businesses alike have migrated to distanced, online solutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) analyzed a record high of 157,525 incidents in 2020, of which over 3,900 qualified as full-fledged data breaches.
Monitoring for and identifying attacks before they occur, and addressing them immediately, is the best way to keep your company safe. Thus, cyber attack detection is one of the most critical elements of a cyberdefense program.
Data breaches are costing your industry an average of $3.16 Million every year. Here is how you can save yourself the hassle of dealing with the fallout.
Nobody likes garden weeds, but sometimes we have to uproot them lest they be a problem later on. Our cyber gardens sometimes need tending too, and using root cause analysis steps is our cyber shovel.
What happens in the moments proceeding a cybersecurity incident will greatly impact the amount of damage your organization sustains. Your incident response methodology dictates how quickly and efficiently your IT and security teams manage a security breach.
Addressing intrusion in cybersecurity is becoming a more complex issue every day. Firewalls can only do so much, and it’s up to event threat detection and response teams to ensure host, network, and application security.
As businesses have become more acquainted with cybersecurity demands, they’ve developed teams to address cybersecurity from a few different vantage points, all vitally important to system security. One commonly misunderstood distinction exists between managed detection and response (MDR) vs. managed security services providers (MSSPs).
In the world of information technology (IT) and cybersecurity, prevention is often the major focus. Companies need to have fully compliant, robust cyberdefenses in place to dissuade hackers and preclude any potential attacks. But attacks still do happen, and a vital part of security is knowing how to detect and respond to them when they occur. Thus, cyber security incident management is one of the most important areas of overall IT management.
Do you have a managed detection and response plan (MDR) in place for the protection and security of your company? At times knowing where to begin your search or where to start can be overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be, though, with the help of someone who has done all the research for you.
Those who seek to permanently damage or leak your company’s critical information are lurking today, and they are constantly upping their offenses. By bringing in a more dynamic MDR plan, you’re providing your company with the protection it needs.
