Due to the amazing innovation in technology, more applications and in-house servers are being migrated to "the cloud" or datacenters. This has resulted in having anywhere access, enhanced collaboration, productivity and higher revenues with decreased costs. You can work from anywhere with internet access and on any device or browser!
This change has also increasedthe attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to take advantage of misconfigurations, weak passwords, password reuse, etc. Every time a company experiences a breach, we are affected! Thanks, business email compromise, ransomware, social engineering, phishing and password attacks.
Which would you prefer, prevention or restoration? Prevention is definitely preferred. We have to change how we protect, defend, rebuild and restore. Computer techs have needed to change their focus and skillset from fixing computers to securing them. Thus, cybersecurity has become vital for all businesses, no matter the size.
We cannot prevent threat actors from attacking businesses; just as we cannot to prevent the hurricanes, typhoons, monsoons, torrential rains, etc.
Many install surveillance systems, have cameras on lights, doorbells, etc. Does this prevent crime? No! It does deter some.
You can implement a collaborative security strategy that will provide insight of failed/successful logins into your cloud applications and infrastructure, attempts to download and detonate malware, or steal files to use for leverage or hold for ransom.
There is a way to build prevention within your business technology! Starting at $30 per user/device.
