Think about building a house. You start with a strong foundation that is engineered to support a framework, walls, and all the things that will be built upon it, as well as the things that will be brought in. And of course, protect the people who live in it.
The same is true with cybersecurity – your network starts with a foundation and then you build the infrastructure (the blueprint for wiring, plumbing, walls and a roof). But everything must be built upon a strong foundation so that people can operate in the network securely.
With the velocity of hacks increasing, especially as more people continue to work remotely (many without a proper security foundation or knowledge of what that even looks like), the new landscape is creating a target-rich environment for bad actors. In fact, Accenture reports that 68% of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are increasing.
Small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) may be more at risk. SMBs are less likely to have a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in place and more likely to have outdated cybersecurity solutions. Many times, smaller businesses can struggle with identifying those hard-to-find vulnerabilities, simply because of the time it takes, and the expertise it requires.
The following three-step roadmap can help ensure your team stays ahead of attacks and is better equipped to outpace bad actors:
We can’t emphasize enough the vital importance of a strong cybersecurity foundation, which we’ve covered in recent
blogs. As the average cost of a data breach is estimated to be almost $3.9 million, it only makes sense to spend a little now to invest in your cybersecurity stronghold. We can help you get started, or help you accelerate your cybersecurity journey.
