The cyber security industry is booming, and for good reason. Nonstop attacks are impacting governments, nonprofits and businesses big and small across all industries, and if your company doesn’t have strong cybersecurity measures in place, it could be at risk of an attack.
Cyber attacks can be very complicated and require a team of professionals with expertise in different areas to mitigate them. For instance, a forensic analyst can investigate and identify attackers in systems using logs of their activity. Then, they can determine the best course of action to take, such as reverting to previous operating system versions or deploying a tool that removes the threat.
Other cybersecurity tools include two factor authentication, which requires something you know (like a password or PIN) and something you have (like a card, dongle, cellphone, etc.). This helps keep unauthorized people from accessing your computer or data and may be a good fit for your organization.
To assess the effectiveness of your cyber security measures, you’ll need a variety of metrics, including the MTTA, or time to acknowledge that a problem exists, and the MTRT, or time it takes to get started working on a solution. Another useful metric is the number of high-risk vulnerabilities identified in your system, which can help you prioritize mitigation efforts. These cyber threats can be very difficult to eliminate, and even a slight delay in response can have serious consequences. That’s why it’s important to develop a clear strategy for your company, and make sure that your employees understand their responsibilities and the importance of keeping your information secure.
