Cybersecurity: Failure to Prepare is Not an Option

Insights
June 7, 2021

Security Operations Center

A look at the headlines, or a visit to the National Cyber Awareness System alert system, will tell you that for any given week, there are dozens and dozens of newly identified vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can use to their advantage to exploit IT and OT resources. But while the cybersecurity landscape may seem dire—like trying to hit a moving target—it is possible to protect your organization from ransomware and other cyberattacks.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail,” wrote Benjamin Franklin.

This adage is spot on when considering the right approach to cybersecurity readiness. Active preparation is the key to averting potential attacks on your organization’s resources.

Basics of Cybersecurity Preparation

The first step in cybersecurity preparation is to confirm that your organization is following the best practice basics.

  • Requiring strengthened passwords
  • Implementing multifactor authentication
  • Employing strong spam filters
  • Updating software, including operating systems, applications, and firmware
  • Implementing regular data backup procedures, including testing

Your organization should have already implemented these simple yet effective practices. These essentials are the tip of the spear to a strong cybersecurity position. But there does need to be some power behind that spear for these practices to be effective.

Security Operations Center

Beyond the basics, an active cybersecurity defense must be proactive by providing real-time protection and threat intelligence with a Security Operations Center (SOC).  A SOC is capable of monitoring, preventing, detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats in real-time to protect your assets. A SOC allows your organization to mitigate the risks of cyberattacks preemptively. It is a necessity in today’s cybersecurity climate and it is the power behind your cybersecurity protection.
