and soſtware manufacturers have knowledge and can take appropriate action. Everyone is playing catch-up when a zero- day vulnerability is disclosed, especially if it’s actively being used to attack people. If zero-day concerns weren’t enough, countless other incidents that occurred last year that didn’t make the headlines resulted from a breakdown in applying cybersecurity fundamentals.
As you think about your 2022 cybersecurity action plans, there must be a renewed focus on addressing the fundamentals of cybersecurity. Some places to start — have a security operations center monitor your cloud and endpoint devices, upgrade your traditional “antivirus” with next generation capabilities found in Endpoint Detection and Response solutions, and secure your Microsoſt 365 cloud using a community accepted configuration standard, among other things.
Te fundamentals of cybersecurity apply everywhere, even in the cloud, and the “devil is in the details” when it comes to how secure your technology is. Conducting a thorough review of your IT systems is vital to ensure you are minding the gaps. Lastly, use a credentialed third-party cybersecurity consultant to help you on this journey. Existing IT teams oſten lack the skills, toolsets and/or time to intentionally focus on cybersecurity.
In closing, be intentional about your cybersecurity in 2022. Security happens on purpose — not by accident. Don’t make assumptions. Don’t leave it to chance. Don’t rely on cyber insurance only. Don’t be defeatist. Address the fundamentals of cybersecurity, identify and protect all your IT assets, equip your people with security awareness training, engage third- party advisors and make cybersecurity accountable at an executive level. Know where you are in your journey, what your next step is and take it!
