1 Go Analog

Sometimes the best way to secure your network is to disconnect it. Consider creating an 'air gap' for sensitive systems, a security measure where a computer or network is physically isolated from unsecured networks, including the internet. This method is often used for classified military networks or industrial control systems to prevent remote attacks. While not practical for all systems, using air gaps for your most critical data can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

An "out of the box" approach to enhance network security includes renaming administrator accounts, using narrowly restricted admin accounts, and setting up honeypots to detect and monitor attackers. These unconventional methods can bolster security by making it harder for intruders to target key accounts and by providing early detection of potential threats.

Sometimes, the best solutions come from the past. Consider analog methods: Physically isolate critical systems from the network. Maintain paper records for sensitive information. Verify critical transactions through phone calls or face-to-face interactions

2 User Training

Human error is often the weakest link in network security. Investing in comprehensive training programs for your employees can dramatically improve your network's defense. Teach them about phishing scams, proper password management, and the importance of regularly updating software. Encourage a culture of security where everyone understands their role in protecting the network and knows how to spot and respond to suspicious activity.

Educate users beyond the usual security awareness training: Turn security training into interactive games. Simulate real-world security incidents.

3 Encrypt Everything

Encryption should be your data's constant companion. By encrypting all data, both at rest and in transit, you make it much harder for unauthorized individuals to access it. Use strong encryption standards like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for stored data and TLS (Transport Layer Security) for data being sent over the internet. Remember, encrypted data is only as secure as its keys, so manage and store your encryption keys securely.

Beyond data encryption, consider: Hardware Encryption: Encrypt storage devices and hardware components. Network Traffic Encryption: Use VPNs. TLS, and SSH for secure communication. End-to-End Encryption: Extend encryption to all communication channels.

4 Behavioral Analysis

Implementing behavioral analysis tools can offer a proactive approach to network security. These tools monitor network traffic and user behavior, learning what's normal and what's not. When they detect unusual patterns that could indicate a security threat, they alert you, allowing for swift action. This method can catch sophisticated attacks that traditional security measures might miss, such as insider threats or advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Look beyond patterns and anomalies: Monitor user behavior for deviations. Biometric Authentication: Use behavioral biometrics (keystrokes, mouse movements) for identity verification.

5 Red Team Drills

Conducting red team exercises is a dynamic way to test your network's resilience. A red team, composed of security professionals, simulates realistic cyberattacks on your network to find vulnerabilities before actual attackers do. These drills can reveal weaknesses in both technology and personnel response, providing valuable insights that can be used to strengthen your security posture.

6 Policy Innovation

Finally, revisit and innovate your security policies regularly. Static policies can become outdated as new threats emerge and technologies evolve. Foster a culture where policies are questioned and improved upon. For instance, consider implementing a zero-trust security model, which assumes that threats exist both outside and inside the network and verifies every access request as if it originates from an untrusted source. This approach minimizes the chances of unauthorized access and lateral movement within your network.

Risk assessment tools are excellent sources to analyze your present vulnerabilities within your infrastructure. Invest in tools that would give you a blanket view of the whole organization's vulnerabilities on-prem and cloud environments. Then through proper user training, have a plan to fix them and keep your assets secure.
