Thought of the week. What security measures would you use to support the fundamentals when we think of CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability)? Let's dive into something exciting! I've crafted a unique phrase for our security measures: SMART. S (Security) M (Measures) A (Are) R (Right) T (There) It is a catchphrase that could stick with yourself and others. 💡 Use strong encryption on your Wi-Fi at home and corporate networks and when you secure your data. 💡 Use authentication and authorization methods to ensure strict access controls to your personal devices and network resources. 💡 Protect against vulnerabilities by updating and patching all devices and security systems. 💡 Remember to back up data for those days when accidents happen. Just picture this: You're the guide, pointing out all the security measures that can support best practices. Image-AI Generated (Canva)

Cybersecurity isn't simple, but asset intelligence can make your job easier. Here are three reasons you can't live without asset intelligence: 1️⃣ It operates at a higher level than individual tools. Tracking your assets using tools like EDRs, MDMs, or vulnerability scanners is a good start. However, many devices (42% on average, according to Ordr data) cannot install endpoint agents. 2️⃣ Instead of focusing solely on the severity of each CVE, it evaluates how each device — considering its function, the data it holds, and other factors — contributes to risk within the context of your organization. 3️⃣ Because asset intelligence provides always up-to-date insights into all assets, incident response teams are better equipped to dive directly into action — whether that involves quarantining a device or updating policies.

Why are "Zero Trust" security models being adopted by organizations? It focuses on verifying every access request or system action from an internal or external source. This approach, combined with continuous monitoring and detection strategies, helps to reduce the likelihood of undetected threats. "Zero Trust" assumes no one, whether inside or outside an organization's network, should be trusted by default. This approach challenges the traditional security model, which often trusts users and devices once they are inside the network perimeter. Instead, Zero Trust enforces strict verification of every user, device, application, and connection, regardless of origin. I'd like to hear your comments. If you want to learn more, please message me. Below are the core principles of Zero Trust: 1. Never Trust, Always Verify 2. Least-Privilege Access 3. Micro-Segmentation 4. Continuous Monitoring and Verification 5. Contextual Access Control 6. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Stay vigilant against social engineering--it could save your business. Cybercriminals exploit human psychology to compromise security. Protect yourself by verifying identities, using strong passwords, and fostering a culture of security awareness. Together, we can build a secure environment that not only safeguards your business but also enhances operational excellence.

Is your Company Cyber Recovery ready???? What can we learn from mature cyber-ready enterprises? just 5 simple steps to be written in the IT mind: 1)usage of early warning security tools.  Examples include Intrusion  Detection Systems, Deception Technology, Intrusion Prevention Systems, Security Information and Event Management, User and Entity Behavior Analytics, and Endpoint Detection and Response. 2) Maintaining an isolated, pre-configured or dynamic isolated recovery environment. 3) Maintaining a separate, air gapped (that is, immutable and indelible) copy of data secured behind a third party’s infrastructure. 4)Tested runbooks provide step-by-step instructions for handling various types of incidents, reducing confusion and response time.  5)Define Metrics and tests that demonstrate an organization’s ability to recover from cyber incidents and assess associated risks, shortly: "test it"... Anything to add based on your expertise?
