Investing in robust cybersecurity systems and solutions is the need of the hour

As India is digitalizing at a pace unprecedented, it is imperative to not lose focus on cybersecurity. Cybersecurity challenges like hacking, interrupting, tampering, and manipulating continue to emerge both in Government and private digital infrastructures. These attacks not only threaten our digital security but also put our country’s productivity at a massive risk and cripples functioning, which is something India cannot afford at this phase of development. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) handled over 14 lakh cyber threats last year alone. There’s never been a more urgent time to invest in robust cybersecurity systems.

Below are some simple and common security technologies that people can adopt to prevent cyber threats, allow audit & action:

1. Data Leakage Prevention (DLP): This is one of the simplest interventions available. One can employ tactics like website blacklisting and whitelisting, keeping browsers updated, and adopting secure browsers to prevent intrusion, enable audit and action.
2. Endpoint Security: This is one of the oldest technologies being used against cybercrime. Traditional and Next Generation Antivirus continue to remain popular. Since the 1980s, the technology has helped detect and remove malware, worms and trojans.
3. Extended Detection and Response (XDR): This is a new approach to threat detection and response that provides holistic protection against cyberattacks, unauthorized access and misuse. This collects & automatically correlates data across multiple security layers: email, endpoint, cloud workload & network. This allows for faster detection of threats and improved investigation & response times through security analysis.
4. Email Phishing: Emails are an exhaustive source of data for hackers because it is used for practically everything – creating new accounts, subscribing to useful content, or connecting to social media – one cannot compromise on their emails. It is critical to update passwords, use spam filters, and be mindful to not click untrusted links from unfamiliar senders.
5. Data Encryption: We often read about data encryption but don’t really know what it means. The technology of data encryption converts readable data into an unreadable format through an encryption key that keeps your information safe against hackers. It is wise to opt for apps & software that enable encryption to keep you protected. SD-WAN solution supplies end-to-end encryption throughout a communication network, whether or not the traffic gets intercepted, the information remains protected. The network is additionally segmented, containing any security breaches or damage and giving businesses the prospect to retort quickly.
6. Cyber Resilience: Cyber Resilience brings business continuity, information systems security and organizational resilience together. This describes the ability to continue delivering intended outcomes despite experiencing challenging cyber events, such as cyberattacks, natural disasters or economic slumps. A measured level of information security proficiency and resilience affects how well an organization can continue business operations with little to no downtime.
