There is no silver bullet to protect an organization against all types of cyber threats. To make genuine, lasting improvements to cyber security, a strong blend of technology, expertise and processes is required. Preventative security controls such as firewalls and antivirus software are a first line of defense, while proactive network and endpoint monitoring is increasingly important to improve visibility of threats that bypass these defenses. Regular security assessments such as vulnerability scanning and pen testing are also important in order to identify and address weaknesses before they can be exploited by attackers. When a security team’s worst fears are realized and their organization is breached, it’s important to have a partner to turn to for assistance with incident response, forensics, notification and recovery.
