Expert Kieran Upadrasta Offers Tools for Thwarting Advanced Persistent Threats
APT’s are a
leading causative factor for data breaches in companies of all sizes
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, OCTOBER 13, 2016 - Cyber
security expert Kieran Upadrasta is lending his services to help organizations
combat one of the leading causes of data breaches, which can cause a chain
reaction of financial liability and reputation damage.
According to Upadrasta, companies of all sizes and scopes
are susceptible to advanced persistent threats. If preventative action is
taken, companies can succumb to a devastating attack. When an advanced
persistent threat (APT) occurs, an unauthorized person gains access to a
network and remains undetected for an extended period of time.
During this time, data can easily be stolen. While APTs aren’t designed to
cause immediate damage to a company, data breaches can cause major problems
when it comes to liability and reputation.
To prevent APTs, Upadrasta recommends a blended approach
that consists of both user behavior analytics and continuous monitoring.
With continuous monitoring, strategies and technology are
leveraged to detect security and compliance issues before the risks become
problematic. User behavior analytics (UBA) offer comprehensive tools for
tracking, collecting, and analyzing user data and activities. With the help of
monitoring systems, UBA offers critical data that security teams can use to
stop APTs before they happen.
Upadrasta says that prevention is key. Once a network attack
has occurred and data has been stolen, the damage can’t be undone.
Upadrasta lends his two decades of expertise in cyber
security, governance, and risk and compliance to assist companies of all scopes
in securing data and protecting their networks.
With both continuous monitoring and UBA in place, APTs can
be prevented, and companies can rest at ease knowing they won’t have a
controversial data breach on their hands. More information can be found at http://www.kieranupadrasta.com/.
