Outwitting the Intruder- The urgency to put Cybersecurity measures ahead of imminent threats. - Part 2
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and a few minutes of cyber-incident to ruin it.”?
― Stephane Nappo?
?In Part 1 we looked at how #Malware , #Ransomware , Phishing, and IoT gaffes can bring your smoothly functioning processes to a grinding halt, not to mention, the dent in your reputation. In the words of Stephane Nappo, Global Head of Information Security for Société Générale- Technology trust is a good thing, but control is a better one. Here are a few more aspects where the loss of control spells sabotage, breaches, and security maydays-?
5. Employees- An employee snubbed off the wrong way can prove to be an efficient pilferer of proprietary information and #intellectualProperty . And nothing as good as sloppy security measures to abet their enterprise. This has spawned an increase in social engineering audits to take a stock of how well employee security policies and procedures are working. 2023 will see a burgeoning adoption of these assessments to keep the IT paraphernalia on its proverbial feet.?
6. Data Poisoning- As #artificialIntelligence and #machinelearning become more prevalent, so does the threat of data poisoning. Data poisoning is manipulating the information used to train machines to subvert AI-powered defenses. This is a severe problem because it can be tough to detect data poisoning attacks. Furthermore, many companies are not prepared to deal with this threat. Improving the transparency and accuracy of datasets, incorporating multiple AI models and advanced analytics, monitoring neural networks for unfamiliar activity, and implementing machine learning-based anomaly detection systems can help to stave off data poisoning attacks.?
7. New technology- Keeping up with the Jones is applicable on an Organizational level too. While everyone makes a beeline for the latest technology, the security aspect could get compromised due to a lack of proper understanding of new technology. To avoid this the IT department should pass every new technology under the scanner and vet it thoroughly. Also, the vendor credentials should be verified before signing a purchase agreement.?

8. Multi-layer security- From Crowd to cloud, Vulnerability can occur anywhere. While you may be deploying the state-of-the-art security bells and whistles for your Organization (Firewalls, Encryptions, Multi-Factor authentications), you need to be equally vigilant about locking up the physical premises, security updates on smartphones, controlled dissemination of information, etc. A meticulous checklist that howls and highlights every potential breach and aberration will be a good thing to keep handy and updated. ??
Your data is sacrosanct and inviolable, regardless of your playing field. It becomes inevitable to protect your company's data with dependable backup solutions and cutting-edge cybersecurity. Moreover, an increasingly digital ecosystem is no longer some piper’s dream, it is a reality. Every Organization must strive to reconcile its digital transformation strategy with a robust cybersecurity strategy. Fix the chinks, protect with priority what matters for your business and get into a super-responsive mode against imminent threats. Think data, but also integrity, awareness, customer experience, #compliance , and goodwill.?
