Secure your online assets

The pace and sophistication of data breaches is growing at an all time high. Anyone with valuable secrets can be targeted, and so can their valuable assets. In the past, cyber security tools and processes have focused more on prevention, rather than quick detection and rapid response. Employees’ personal data, financial records, and intellectual property must be protected. Yes, sometimes malicious insiders are to blame for security breaches, but the much more typical scenario is that an employee inadvertently sends sensitive information to the wrong recipient, or otherwise makes private data public. No matter the case, organizations often do not find indicators of unauthenticated identity, and they normally do not access and take control of the situation on time. Therefore, this is why rapid response is a must, in order to eliminate incidents and remove them at the source. They also need the capability to predict future trends based on past and current behavior. “A shortage of people with cyber-security skills results in direct damage to companies, including the loss of proprietary data and IP,” said James A. Lewis, senior vice president and director of the Strategic Technologies Program at CSIS. “This is a global problem; a majority of respondents in all countries surveyed could link their workforce shortage to damage to their organization.”

Fortunately, the security industry has evolved with new approaches to shorten detection, and response times for identity theft and access control attacks. Today’s existing and emerging Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, combined with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), reflect significant advances in real-time protection, by using cloud platforms, big data analysis for indicators of compromise, indicators of attack, and machine learning algorithms. These technologies also have made considerable progress homing in on true positives.

To create a security-focused work culture, organizations need a solution that will do three things:

a. Enforce security policies to protect users from their own mistakes.

b. Educate and remind users about data security.

c. Empower users to take responsibility for data security.
