Policy Update is essential to meet up with current situation because, Threat actors are developing more sophisticated applications regularly to create problem within the cyberspace so, we also need to go ahead of them in terms of Access Control, deciding of our Data (Data Encryption) and the way we respond to what is about to happen, what's happening and what's going to happen in the future.

3 Staff Training

One of the most effective ways to combat cybersecurity threats is through continuous staff training. Your employees are often the first line of defense against cyber attacks, so equipping them with the knowledge and tools to recognize and respond to threats is paramount. Training should cover topics like phishing, malware, and safe online behaviors. Additionally, fostering a culture of security awareness within your organization can significantly reduce the risk of human error leading to security breaches.

Proactive Cybersecurity is the way to deal with arising cybersecurity attacks and issues in IT consulting. As IT consultants it is essential to be able to anticipate attacks and ensure to equip our clients with the necessary infrastructure, both physical and logical, that can survive and limit their potential to face cybersecurity attacks. A simple example is the use of network segmentation to ensure an attack does not affect the whole system (at least not immediately) allowing for incident response teams to address the issue.
