  1. WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR COMPANY FROM AN EXPENSIVE AND EMBARRASSING CYBERATTACK

  2. INTRODUCTION Cyber-attacks have moved to the front page of the news. The attack on Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods went to the heart of the US energy and food supply systems. Hospitals and health organizations were hit in 2020 impacting over 18 million patient records and costing $ 21 Billion. No one is immune as 43% of attacks are against small businesses. So being big or small does not escape the attack. The criminals behind these attacks are building more sophisticated profit-oriented organizations, even investing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and talent to keep a few steps ahead of the defense.

  4. SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING Security Awareness doesn’t remove the element of human judgment, but it does help make human judgment better thereby giving you better odds against the bad guys. Security Awareness Training providers provide training materials, online training programs, baseline testing, simulated phishing attacks, and reporting results. A leader in this area, KnowBe4, has reduced the phishing-prone percentage from a baseline of 37% to 4.7 % over 12 months. Costs range from $ 4 to $ 30 per user for the year based on the program details and the total number of users involved.

  5. EMAIL GATEWAY SECURITY Email gateways servers act as a gateway through which every incoming and outgoing email passes. The purpose is to monitor all emails and only let the good ones go in our out. Incoming emails are monitored for spam, phishing attacks, malware, or fraudulent content. Outgoing email can be monitored to ensure sensitive data is not leaving the organization or that it is encrypted. Email gateway security providers are needed for both on-premises and cloud email solutions. Office 365 email on its own does not provide this. It needs to be combined with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 or a third-party product like DarktraceMimecast or Proofpoint

  6. OPERATING SYSTEM PATCHING Statistics show known vulnerabilities that have not been patched can be the source of more than 60 % of security breaches. Some are vulnerabilities that have had patches available for years. Vulnerabilities in total will be discussed further down but one part of vulnerability patching and one that is quite common is Operating System Patching for Microsoft, Linux, and other OS. We are used to doing this on the personal side as many of us have our laptop or PC set to automatically download and apply patches as they become available. These patches add features, fix software bugs, and eliminate security vulnerabilities with Vulnerability Management Services.

  7. VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT Almost 18,000 new software vulnerabilities were reported in 2020 which set a record. Everything is becoming software so beating this record will be the norm going forward. As stated earlier, unpatched vulnerabilities play a significant role in allowing cyber attackers easier access to entry. Software providers work hard to develop patches for these vulnerabilities but for customers patching in such large numbers is challenging. It requires a solution like Qualys, Tenable, or Nexpose that smaller businesses may not feel is justified. These tools automatically inventory assets, determine current patch level, unpatched vulnerabilities, and provide the solution to eliminate the vulnerability. The solutions may include patching, configuration, or upgrading versions.
