How to Ensure Your Organization’s Cybersecurity Strategy is Up to Date
Information security tools help prevent problems before they arise. Look for tools that integrate with your existing systems and processes. If you’re currently using disparate security solutions, look into how they can be integrated into a single framework.
A good place to start is a vulnerability management solution. These solutions are designed to keep your IT environment’s software, hardware, and networks free of vulnerabilities that could lead to data breaches or business disruptions.
4) Set up regular IT training for employees
Regular IT training will help your employees keep your organization’s cybersecurity strategies up-to-date. While you don’t need or want most employees to know every technical detail, it makes sense for them to know how cybercriminals try to attack organizations like yours, and how they can help guard against these attacks.
Your employee education and security awareness program should be updated on a periodic basis. Cybersecurity challenges and protocols change fast, and you need to ensure their skills stay current with today’s rapidly changing cybersecurity threats.
5) Know what data you have, where it’s stored, and who can access it
The first step in understanding your data security vulnerabilities — and how to fix them — is knowing what kinds of data your company has collected. You need to know what you have, where it’s stored, and who can access it.
If a vulnerability leaves sensitive data vulnerable, or if someone (intentionally or unintentionally) misuses that data, it could expose your organization to major liability concerns. It’s also possible that some of your information isn’t as secure as you might think.
