Discover comprehensive cybersecurity solutions including threat detection, vulnerability management, AI-driven defense, and strategic implementation guides to fortify your organization’s defenses.
Responding to a hack or cyber breach effectively requires the right technology. Here are the top 10 incident management tools for your organization.
One of the most basic and essential features of cybersecurity is the password. It’s needed to access all accounts and networks, meaning all data is—or should be—password protected at some level. But password security involves more than just tasking employees with making up original passwords that are hard to guess. It’s no wonder companies of all shapes and sizes depend on password management tools to help keep all of their sensitive information safe.
An incident response tabletop exercise is the equivalent of a cybersecurity fire drill. In the digital era, it’s not a matter of if your organization will be a target of a cyber-attack, it’s a matter of when. CNBC reported that in 2018 cybercrime cost as much as $600 billion annually, approaching 1% of the world’s GDP. Cybercrime is a pandemic with repercussions that could drive organizations to early retirement.
A Wizard will lock his knowledge behind complex incantations and spells, a cyber Wizard will use a good password. A password management policy has become a vital tool for organizations seeking to secure their information environment.
Thankfully it doesn’t take a wizard to implement a well-designed password management policy.
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 same way businesses have security measures for their physical locations, every business needs to shore up its cyberdefenses. With cybercrime on the rise, and hackers often outpacing even the strongest and smartest cybersecurity systems, it’s extremely important to keep all architecture and practices up to date. To that end, the NIST risk assessment framework is one of the best ways to understand exactly what risks are posed to your business, as well as how to mitigate and manage them.
There are many reasons password management in network security is one of the most important aspects of overall cybersecurity for all businesses. Passwords are some of the longest established and most ubiquitous cybersecurity measures available. Nearly every activity logged on hardware and software is password protected. But that doesn’t mean they’re all safe, as passwords are also some of the easiest security measures to bypass for hackers.
Email has become integrated into everyday life to the point that we take it for granted. In both personal and business contexts, sending and receiving emails is often no more difficult than text messaging a friend or colleague—another innovation that’s become part of the fabric of modern life. But email is especially vulnerable to cyberattacks, which makes email security services especially important for businesses. They’re as vital as security for regular (snail) mail!
What do air conditioners and credit card information have in common? They were both involved in third-party hacks. Target stores, unfortunately, suffered a point-of-sales attack in early 2014, which was a result of the third-party supplier vulnerability, specifically a vulnerability in the building’s air conditioning units. Even more unfortunately – NIST third-party risk management framework was unknown.
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.
