Why does my Business need Cyber Security?
The need for cyber security extends to businesses of all sizes. Attackers utilize many automation techniques to survey targets for easily identifiable vulnerabilities. Phishing is one of the most common attack methods utilized, because it takes advantage of the end user and is easily automated. Business owners often focus on the immediate loss of funds as a result of an attack, but this is often not the most detrimental aspect of a successful malicious attack. After an attack has taken place, companies must deal with the loss of reputation and increased costs of security to prevent re-occurances.
Common Attack Methods & Vectors
Cyber Security vectors are not as obvious as they may seem. Common vectors for risk include: error, malware, misuse, hacking, physical and social. Common attack methods include phishing, ransomware, and use of stolen credentials via social engineering or malware. Hackers leverage a multitude of attack types to exploit these vectors. It is important to note that many of these vectors can be mitigated through proper configuration and updating of IT systems within an organization. Companies must ensure that sensitive data is being handled properly, and that all IT systems are updated to the latest stable releases.
Security is a Roadmap
Developing a Cyber Security Roadmap is critical to all businesses: small, medium and enterprise. Information Technology is a continuously evolving industry. Attackers are continuously leveraging new technologies and vulnerabilities for malicious purposes. This leads to security not being a race, but rather a roadmap. Businesses can leverage a security advisor in order to develop a Cyber Security Roadmap for long-term adoption and planning of security tools.
An effective Cyber Security Roadmap should begin with an internal assessment of security practices. Companies will often find that they can significantly increase their security just by adopting good user security polices and implementing user training. In addition to these behavioral changes, adoption of cost-effective cyber security tools will make a huge difference.
