Measures to be taken for Cyber threats

•    Adopt real time prevention rather than just adopt a detection approach: Vaccination is better than treatment – even when it comes to cyber security. Real-time prevention of threats, before they can infiltrate the network, is the key to blocking future attacks.

•    Secure your everything: The “new normal” requires organizations to revisit and check the security level and relevance of their network’s infrastructures, processes, compliance of connected mobile and PC devices, IoT etc. The increased use of the cloud means an increased level of security, especially in technologies that secure workloads, containers and serverless applications on multi and hybrid cloud environments.

•    Boosting visibility makes a huge difference: So many changes in the company’s infrastructure present a unique opportunity to check security investments. The highest level of visibility, reached through consolidation, will guarantee the best effectiveness.

•    Cybersecurity cannot be reactive or incident driven - rather there has to be a proactive focus towards security.

•    Recognize that cybersecurity is the responsibility of everyone within the organization, from the CEO down to the employees. It is not just an issue for the CIO or CISO to solve.
